Abstract
Huskamp et al. (Dec. 4 issue)1 found that incentive-based formularies affect not only prescription-drug costs, but also patients' compliance with medications. Why do patients use less medication when offered more choice? One possible answer: incentive-based formularies create more complexity than choice.Keywords
