PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Resulting in part from a lack of awareness regarding disease burden, under-recognition of symptoms, and misdiagnoses related to potential psychiatric comorbidities, narcolepsy represents a therapeutic area with several important practice gaps and unmet clinical needs in managed care. This educational activity seeks to address these gaps and needs in a logical, stepwise process by focusing on raising disease awareness among managed care professionals to establish the impetus for intervention and change in administrative and/or practice behaviors. Efficient and accurate diagnosis on the part of network providers will be promoted, followed by a payer-centric assessment of the value of available pharmacologic treatments and other therapeutic interventions. In addition to benefit design considerations such as timely and efficient prior authorization approvals surrounding these treatment modalities, the activity will detail the parameters of a successful care coordination model for narcolepsy, in which managed care stakeholders are empowered to facilitate effective, multidisciplinary care.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

After completing the activity, participants should be better able to:

Outline the current diagnostic criteria for narcolepsy and identify associated procedures to facilitate timely claims/prior authorization approval and treatment
Describe the available validated scales and patient questionnaires for identifying narcolepsy symptoms and evaluate their respective benefits and disadvantages for standardized use among network providers
Evaluate current pharmacologic treatments for narcolepsy based on available efficacy, safety, and cost data
Incorporate value-driven assessment approaches for member drug benefit design and appropriate formulary positioning of narcolepsy therapies
Implement plan-wide initiatives to better coordinate care for narcolepsy among primary care physicians, sleep specialists, and ancillary providers
