When new drugs are approved by the FDA, they can take time to diffuse across the population as clinicians begin to prescribe them. Uptake is not always quick or uniform, due to reasons that can include clinical inertia, provider familiarity, and the cost to patients. On this episode of Managed Care Cast, we’re talking with the lead author of a study published in our December 2021 issue. The article, “Variation in Early Diffusion of Sacubitril/Valsartan and Implications for Understanding Novel Drug

Proponents of price transparency hope that publishing health care prices can enable patients to shop for their health care services and better understand the bills that they receive.

COVID-19’s effects on the body are now known to be far-reaching—and long-lasting in the most severe cases—but when it started spreading across the world in early 2020, initial attention was focused on the lungs.

2021/11/02

Fragmented health care is a known issue for patients and providers, and nowhere is the problem as acute as it is in the over-65 population. Studies have shown that patients who have a strong relationship with a primary care provider (PCP) who coordinates their care have better outcomes. But care provided by specialists has expanded over the past 2 decades, and the average PCP has twice as many specialists involved in the care of their fee-for-service Medicare patients as they did 20 years ago,

2021/10/28

The 340 drug pricing program was first established in 1992 and allows participating hospitals to manufacture discounts on drugs used in an outpatient setting. In years since, federal agencies have clarified savings from the program should be directed at improving care for underserved patients.

In the years since its inception, debates around the program have

2021/10/19

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to take a toll on the nation a year-and-a-half later, public health workers, leaders, and researchers alike are still grappling with ways to convince a large swath of Americans to roll up their sleeves and get vaccinated. Even as cases and deaths decline nationally, states like Alaska continue to ration care as hospitals struggle with surges of largely unvaccinated patients with COVID-19. Currently, approximately 57% of the nation’s population is fully vaccinated,

They are less likely to be deemed eligible for a transplant, instead going on dialysis.
