Figuring out how to quantify current total cost of care and determining cost saving strategies start with drilling down and looking at how care is being delivered.
- Is care provided by a PCP, general oncologist/hematologist or a hematologist within a Hemophilia Treatment Center?
- Is a review of the specialty pharmacy benefit design in place to determine if there are opportunities for more effective management?
Since hemophilia medication is often self-infused or self-injected at home, this information is not always captured using traditional sources such as medical or pharmacy claims data. Gathering this information often requires working with vendor partners to make sure they are collecting actual script data and patient bleed logs.
Review the steps on this page and/or download the Employer Checklist to learn what the prevalence of hemophilia is in your population. Evaluate your current strategy related to hemophilia and know what steps can and should be taken with vendors to improve overall quality of care and reduce related costs. Even if all the steps cannot be completed, there is value in completing as many as possible.
