Overview: For a long time that health care resources and costs are concentrated on a relatively small proportion of the population. These high-level consumers of health care have gained the negative reputation of being "high users" and provide an obvious target for cost containment. With the rising costs of pharmaceuticals over the last two decades, this target group has increasingly become the high-cost users of pharmaceuticals. This study provides a description of high-cost users of prescription medications compared with the rest of the population. It provides a detailed characterization of this population so as to clarify whether its costs can be reduced or whether other interventions are needed.
