Does e-prescribing cost patients more money?
Patients pay the same amount and can use the same payment
methods for electronic prescriptions as they do for traditional
paper ones. With e-prescribing, however, prescribers will likely
have information about the patient's formulary at the time of
prescribing, which may allow prescribers to prescribe a medication
with a lower co-pay or cost to the patient if paying out of
pocket.
