In a retrospective study, nearly one third of patients whose OOP costs were $100 to $500 and nearly half of patients whose OOP costs were more than $2,000 failed to pick up their new prescription for an oral cancer medication, compared to 10% of patients who were required to pay less than $10 at the time of purchase. Delays in picking up prescriptions were also more frequent among patients facing higher OOP costs.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/out-of-pocket costscancerprescriptioncoinsurancedelayabandonmentBrief
