摘要	This HSC publication notes that insured consumers may face sticker shock at pharmacy counters as health plans take more aggressive steps, such as three-tier pharmacy benefits, to control rapidly rising drug costs. Under a three-tier design, consumers typically incur the lowest out-of-pocket costs for generic drugs, higher costs for preferred brand-name drugs, and the highest costs for nonpreferred brand drugs. Consumers have a broader choice of drugs but must pay more if they choose nonpreferred ones. The move to three-tier benefits has helped slow drug-spending growth--at least in the short term--but raises questions about cost and quality of pharmaceutical care for consumers.
