摘要

Background: The Medicare 5-Star Rating System measures and provides incentive for improving Medicare Part D plans through a quality-based payment program. Adherence to medications for chronic conditions is key to the Star ratings. Our objective was to assess the impact of direct-to-provider letters on improving medication adherence. Methods: Members of a large US pharmacy benefits manager (PBM) who did not adhere to prescription of oral diabetes (antidiabetics), cholesterol-reducing (statins), or hypertension (renin angiotensin system [RAS] antagonists) drug therapy were identified from the prescriptions claims data of > 600,000 continuously enrolled Medicare members. Nonadherence was defined by the Star ratings definition of proportion of days covered (PDC) 80%) and continuous PDC measures were assessed as outcomes through multivariate logistic regression and difference-in-difference models, respectively. Results: Final sample sizes were 21,044; 106,829; and 73,560 patients for antidiabetic, statin, and RAS antagonist use, respectively, with approximately equal number of intervention and control subjects in each drug class. Physician mailing was associated with 11 %, 16%, and 7% higher odds of being adherent by members in antidiabetic, statin, and RAS antagonist cohorts, respectively (allP<.001). Conclusions: Within limitations of historical controls, physician mailing was associated with improved medication adherence. Implications: Physician mailing can be an impactful tool for improving medication adherence. Level of evidence: II
