Patient Assistance: The Best Deal in Pharma
Manage episode 414083146 series 2286377
Patient assistance programs can make a huge difference for patients who need expensive medicines but can't afford them.
In this episode, Jeff Stewart talks with Dave MacLeod, Managing Director, Value & Access at Syneos Health about the benefits and challenges of patient assistance programs, which provide free or low-cost medicines to eligible patients. They discuss how these programs can improve access, adherence, and outcomes, as well as the operational and regulatory issues involved in running them. Covering key topics such as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the impact of technology and AI in patient services, and the challenges posed by copay accumulators and maximizers, Dave sheds light on the complexities of navigating copay assistance optimization and the strategies employed to mitigate the effects on patients and manufacturers alike.
