Specialty Pharmacy News on CD.

Spending on specialty pharmacy products accounts for more than 20% of pharmacy costs at many health plans — more than $50 billion a year, a total that experts think will double by 2010. Of the 101 unique biopharmaceuticals in late-stage development in the U.S., 95% will be administered via injection or infusion. And hundreds of new specialty drugs in the R&D pipeline are being developed for prevalent, chronic conditions, which further increases the long-term cost impact for payers.

Specialty Pharmacy News is a monthly newsletter designed to help health plans, PBMs, providers and employers manage costs more aggressively and deliver biotechs, injectables and infusibles more effectively. As a subscriber, you'll read hard-hitting business stories on topics like:

  • Health plan formulary strategies for specific disease states such as cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, hepatitis C, multiple sclerosis, etc.
  • How to incorporate specialty infusion, utilization management and medication compliance programs into a specialty pharmacy strategy.
  • Management tactics for infusibles administered outside of the physician’s office, including home infusion and infusion suites.
  • The potential impact of follow-on biologics.
  • How health plans are incorporating genetic tests into coverage.
  • The latest analyses of size, margins and opportunities in major specialty pharmacy markets, including IVIG, hemophilia, MS, RA, growth hormone, cancer, HIV/AIDS, infertility, PAH and hepatitis C.
  • The impact of Medicare reimbursement rates, Average Sales Price (ASP) methodology and the Competitive Acquisition Program on injectables and infusibles.
  • Mergers and acquisitions activity in, and the impact on, the specialty pharmacy and home infusion markets.
  • Distribution networks and benefit designs for significant new specialty pharmacy products, including oral oncology therapies.
