Does anyone have a safe process to identify patient out-of-pocket costs for DOACs prior to discharge...without 'test prescriptions'?
Historically provider teams have sent 'test prescriptions' to retail pharmacies. As reported in previous ISMP newsletters, we also have experienced wrong drug and duplicate therapy errors with 'test prescription' miss-adventures. Therefore, our current stance is to not allow 'test prescriptions'.
Thank you in advance! Lu
