Preventing Waste from Unused Prescriptions Overview of the issue & stakeholder considerations MaineCare initial prescription limitation policy Discussion October 19, 2010Prepared by the Product Stewardship Institute13

Questions What are the pros and cons of short-cycle dispensing? – Initial prescription limitations? Are there specific contexts in which this approach would be easier to implement? Voluntary? Mandated? What would need to happen for this to be widely adopted (if that’s what we want)? October 19, 2010Prepared by the Product Stewardship Institute14

Questions Should it apply to all medicines? – Only those with higher discontinuation rates? – Only those most likely to be abused? – To what extent does this depend on the context? What are the options for pro-rating co-pays? What would be the best possible scenario? Are there any next steps on this topic? – Other information? – Other stakeholders? October 19, 2010Prepared by the Product Stewardship Institute15
