Implication

Interrupted time series analysis finds that preventive drug lists improve medication adherence and reduce costs in patients with diabetes, especially lower-income groups.

Key Points

Patients with preventive drug list coverage saw significant reductions in out-of-pocket payments for diabetes medications.
There were statistically significant increases in medication fills for noninsulin antidiabetics, showing improved adherence over time.
Lower-income patients benefited the most from preventive drug lists, particularly under high-deductible plans with health savings accounts.
The findings suggest that preventive drug lists can reduce income-related disparities in medication adherence over a two-year period.
