Prescription Drug Survey
Is the cost of your prescription drugs (such as a biologic) a barrier to your treatment? Have you stopped taking prescription drugs or modified your treatment plan because of out-of-pocket expenses?
If so, you and your story can be part of the solution to lower costs for arthritis medications. The Arthritis Foundation has heard from many of you that arthritis medications often are unaffordable. We are beginning to work with other patient advocacy organizations to collect patient stories to help us illustrate this problem.
Click the link below to take a brief survey to tell us more. Arthritis Foundation staff may contact you soon to learn more about your circumstances. Thank you for joining your voice with ours!
PS - Please forward this survey link to others with rheumatic conditions who may also forgo treatment due to high prescription drug costs.
