(University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine) If a patient has private insurance, doctors can get prior approval to prescribe a drug 'off-label' to make sure the medication will be covered, but when it comes to Medicare part D, coverage decisions are dictated by two compendia -- lists of medications and what they're indicated for. Researchers examined these lists and found they are incomplete, outdated, and frequently in conflict with each other.
