Cognition and take-up of the Medicare Savings Programs.
In this study, the investigators examined the association between cognition and Medicare Savings Program (MSP) enrollment among elderly Medicare beneficiaries who qualified for these programs. They also examined enrollment in the Low-Income Subsidy (LIS), a separate program that provides premium and cost-sharing assistance in Medicare Part D that Medicare beneficiaries automatically received if they are enrolled in an MSP.

Association of out-of-pocket costs on adherence to common neurologic medications.
The objective of this training was to determine the association between out-of-pocket costs and medication adherence in 3 common neurologic diseases. The investigators concluded that higher out-of-pocket costs were associated with lower medication adherence in 3 common neurologic conditions. The investigators also observed racial/ethnic disparities and recommended that minority populations receive additional focus in future intervention efforts to improve adherence.
