STATEMENT OF NEED / PROGRAM OVERVIEW | ||||||||||||||||
For health plans, treatment for patients with bleeding disorders, especially those with hemophilia, can be a tremendously heavy financial burden. The treatment of hemophilia ranks among the most expensive chronic diseases in the United States. New technology has led to remarkable advances in improving the safety of new blood products, but these technologies have come at ever-increasing costs. Total annual costs depend upon the severity of the disease and can average $250,000 or more for severe patients. Complications such as major surgery, undergoing immune tolerance for an inhibitor, HIV/AIDS, and/or hepatitis treatments, can increase these costs exponentially. The high cost of clotting factor concentrates and the even higher cost of treatment of inhibitors makes hemophilia a potential target for cost-cutting efforts by various payers. Optimal outcomes for patients with hemophilia require a collaborative and coordinated patient experience. Representatives of the comprehensive care team, including a managed care medical director, managed care pharmacy director, specialty pharmacy expert, and a Hemophilia Treatment Center (HTC) clinician, will highlight important opportunities to optimize costs and improve patient care. | ||||||||||||||||
