An article from The Independent in the UK referenced an article published on AJMC.com, the website of the American Journal of Managed Care^®. The article, “What Type of Medication Can an Urgent Care Doctor Prescribe?” detailed the types of medication that urgent care doctors can prescribe through their, often in-house, pharmacies. These medications often need follow-up from the primary care physician.

An article from AJMC.com, titled “How Insurance Claim Denials Harm Patients’ Health, Finances,” was referenced in an article from Med Shadow Foundation. The feature article focused on the link between delays in receiving coverage for medications and worse symptoms, increased costs, and added stress to the patients who require their essential treatment.
