Ask the Expert with Dr. Randy Vogenberg: How Government Policies Influence Commercial Insurance Implications
Stay informed on critical moves in healthcare with our new series, "Ask the Expert."
In this brief episode of "Ask the Expert," Dr. Randy Vogenberg delves into the complex relationship between government healthcare policies and their impact on commercial insurance stakeholders. This brief but insightful episode focuses on a significant lawsuit by Vertex Pharmaceuticals against the Office of Inspector General (OIG). The case centers on whether Vertex can provide a patient assistance program for its gene therapy patients, explicitly addressing the associated fertility assistance needs.
Dr. Vogenberg discusses the broader implications of this legal battle, exploring how the decision could influence both commercial plan sponsors and manufacturers. He explains how the denial of patient assistance by government programs might lead to increased costs, decreased utilization of innovative therapies, and, ultimately, fewer available treatment options in the marketplace.
Tune in to this episode to gain expert insights into how government healthcare policies could shape the future of commercial insurance and the availability of advanced therapeutic products.
