Looks like more shenanigans from one of the big PBMs. lnkd.in/gBwt8us
So ESI doesn't feel they have any responsibility in the ridiculous price hike of Acthar even though they entered into an exclusive agreement with the drug campny removing the potential for competition and negotiations to reduce the cost. lnkd.in/eXb-MSb

For #Colorado #hospitals, (1) bad debt and charity care fall, while (2) profits per patient rise drugch.nl/2RozjHm @CHCPF
These two charts tell you everything you need to know about so-called "non profit" #hospitals today

Should be interesting to watch how this unfolds. lnkd.in/eAKBvSa
Haven't we heard this before just last year from them? And didn't it end up having minimal impact as few pharmacies actually carried the lower cost version? lnkd.in/e3r38rm
Very insightful explanation of 340b.
I highly recommend this read if you are unfamiliar with the 340b drug program. lnkd.in/eaGDQ6D
Unfortunate to see

Wonder why your health premiums & deductibles have skyrocketed? Start with hospital execs & bloated infrastructure (hint: it’s not the clinicians).

Amazing: For Nevada (only), #PBMs negotiated $1.9 billion in #rebates for #diabetes #drugs and retained $127M (7%). Excludes statutory #Medicaid rebates. Unknown: Did all diabetes patients benefit from this river of cash? drugch.nl/2WwhN86 #GrossToNetBubble

Fresh evidence how #Rebates & #GrossToNetBubble hurt #PartD patients: Hepatitis C #drugs with lower list prices were covered less frequently than high list price treatments "despite being clinically superior and lower out-of-pocket cost" (!) drugch.nl/2WmwV2X @RSAPjournal
In for my preventive care primary care visit today and due to new benefit plan have to start w/ a new PCP. This is the question they ask on the visit form for today.
"If there is time"?
So, right at the start of my first visit your are telling me you may…lnkd.in/gEiihE7
Well at least they are consistent from yr to yr in their approch
Huh? @ExpressScripts $CI 2019 formulary *excludes* @LillyPad $LLY #insulin #Lispro (auth #generic w/50% lower list price). Formulary prefers #Humalog (high-list/high-rebate). Sorry, patients with coinsurance and deductibles! Gross-to-net bubble lives on! drugch.nl/2AP7QIt
