Non-adherence stats

- The New England Healthcare Institute estimates that medication non-adherence is responsible for approximately $290 billion of “otherwise avoidable medical spending” each year in the US

- 25-30% of all new scripts are never filled – whether the script is for a drug that can improve your life or save it

- Even serious medical conditions that could cause significant negative outcomes, including death, are not enough to get people to adhere to their medications – recent studies have shown that transplant patients are only around 70% adherent to the medications they need to ensure they do not reject their transplanted organs
