Key Findings
- Capital Rx clients enrolled in the adherence program achieved an average improvement in adherence rate of 9.5% from baseline across all drug categories. In comparison, industry standard average improvement in adherence rates is 3%.
- The largest improvement in adherence rate (14%) was seen in the CCB and RASA drug classes, In these drug classes, we observe that 90% of claims were for a 90-day supply.
- The smallest improvement (1%) was seen in the diabetes drug class. Glucagon-like-pepetide-1- receptor agonists (GLP-1) accounted for 28% of the diabetes drug class. This may be due to the national GLP-1 drug shortage from 2022 to 2025.
