In the most recent Health Affairs journal Roebuc et al. (2015) used data on more than 1.5 million Medicaid enrollees to estimate the impact of changes in prescription drug use on medical costs for treatment of eight chronic noncommunicable diseases.
They found that a 1 percent increase in overall prescription drug use was associated with decreases in total nondrug Medicaid costs by 0.108 percent for blind or disabled adults 0.167 percent for other adults and 0.041 percent for children.
Please explain how increasing the cost in prescription drug use may end up to decreasing the total health care costs?
What is (are) the policy implication(s) especially in drug utilization and medical costs in Medicaid populations?
