In order to get your product on formulary, managed care decision-makers must be convinced that the issue is not the price of your medication but why it's more cost-effective in the long run.

A medicine can be cost effective only if it is taken correctly. For instance, patients who missed only 20% of their prescribed dose of beta-blockers for mild hypertension had a 4.5 to 6.5 fold increased risk of coronary heart disease.

That is why patient compliance is at the heart of a managed care organization's long term success. It has been proven that high quality programs that teach patients how to take their medications result in lower health care costs.

Consumer Health Information Corporation offers managed care organizations patient compliance programs designed to improve cost-effectiveness of a treatment to get the product on formulary.
