PROGRAM OVERVIEW

This activity can help managed care organizations and other payer types be better prepared to address the mounting challenges associated with rare, high-cost conditions such as hemophilia by formulating a comprehensive rare disease strategy. In doing so, it is necessary for payers to strike the appropriate balance between the urgency to respond to patient needs and the interpretation and application of the latest evidenced-based data while considering financial impact, value, and affordability, along with variation in coverage and its effects on access. This activity is designed to address these needs in order to improve clinical, economic, and humanistic outcomes for patients with hemophilia.

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to demonstrate improved ability to:
Track 1
  • Review current and emerging evidence-based treatment modalities
  • Employ collaborative partnerships among managed care and specialty pharmacy professionals with HTCs and affiliated providers to deliver optimal care for plan members with hemophilia
Track 2
  • Discuss alignment of recently available and innovative therapies in the evolving hemophilia treatment algorithm
  • Assess rare disease payer strategies and care management approaches for optimal outcomes specific to hemophilia
