Neurologists' knowledge of medication costs.

G B Beringer, M Biel, D K Ziegler

    Neurology
    |January 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Neurologists often misjudged drug prices, with community practitioners showing more awareness than academics but still making errors. Understanding these price perceptions is crucial for clinical practice and patient care.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacoeconomics
    • Neurology
    • Health Services Research

    Background:

    • Physician awareness of drug retail prices is essential for informed prescribing and patient counseling.
    • Previous research has not extensively explored neurologists' perceptions of medication costs and their clinical practice implications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess neurologists' estimates of retail drug prices.
    • To understand neurologists' attitudes toward drug costs.
    • To examine the implications of drug pricing knowledge on clinical practice.

    Main Methods:

    • Mailed questionnaires were distributed to neurologists.
    • Participants were asked to estimate retail prices for 39 common drugs.
    • Data on attitudes about drug costs and practice implications were collected.

    Main Results:

    • Neurologists tended to overestimate drug prices more often than underestimate them.
    • Familiarity with older drug products was similar to that of newer medications.
    • Community-based neurologists demonstrated higher price awareness than academic neurologists and trainees, yet inaccuracies persisted.

    Conclusions:

    • Neurologists' price estimations for common drugs are often inaccurate, impacting clinical practice.
    • Disparities in price awareness exist between community and academic neurologists.
    • Further research should investigate prescribing behaviors, adherence to guidelines, and patient-related factors like inconvenience.
