Patients randomized to first-dollar coverage will have their pharmacy benefits changed so that they have no out-of-pocket costs for any beta-blocker, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) antagonist, or statin for every subsequent prescription after randomization.
All co-pays and co-insurance will be waived at the point of care (i.e.
pharmacy) as will any contribution that the cost of these drugs contributes to a patient's deductible
