This research examines the impact of removing copayments for preventive medications on health outcomes after a myocardial infarction.
Randomized trial conducted comparing copayment elimination to standard copayment for medications.
Trial registration number: NCT00566774.
Assessments included rates of medication adherence and major vascular events.
No significant reduction in primary outcome rates after copayment elimination.
Enhanced prescription coverage led to improved medication adherence and higher rates of first major vascular events.
Patient spending decreased without increasing overall health costs.
