Out-of-pocket costs for naloxone

JAMA Network

About The Study: In this observational study of nearly 720,000 pharmacy claims data, out-of-pocket cost of naloxone had been an increasingly substantial barrier to naloxone access for uninsured patients, potentially limiting use among this population, which constituted approximately 20% of adults with opioid use disorder.

Authors: Evan D. Peet, Ph.D., of the RAND Corporation in Pittsburgh, is the corresponding author.
