Edmund J. Pezalla, MD, MPH, national medical director, Aetna Pharmacy Management, suggest that the healthcare industry will continue to move in the direction of providing patients incentives to make use of health risk assessment tools and screenings. He says many of his organization’s programs have already been actively reducing or eliminating copays for preventive services as well as for certain sorts of critical medications.

“Benefit designs need to support delivery system reform by encouraging the right sorts of behaviors by both the consumers as well as the providers,” Dr Pezalla stated.
