Cost effectiveness means you use the cheap first line drugs forst (for example, sertaline which costs $4 per month) and reserve the ones costing $400 per month for resistant cases.
It means insurance doesnt accept paying $400 per month for the latest drug when it hasnt been shown to be any more effective than the old cheap ones.
It means prescribing a good quality generic for $10 rather than a brand name for $100
I dont see anything wrong with any of these
