![]() A pair of recent analyses offer new evidence that Medicare’s protected classes policy does not drive higher costs for the program and beneficiaries, despite attacks from insurance companies who have argued they should be allowed to restrict access to these needed medications. Specifically, the two analyses -- one undertaken by Milliman and the other by BluePeak Advisors -- show that the six protected classes have similar cost patterns to non-protected drugs. Among the highlights of the respective analyses:
These analyses are consistent with a recent study from Avalere, further refuting statements from plans and pharmacy benefit managers (PBM) that they cannot manage utilization of protected class drugs. In fact, the analyses show that drug costs have remained stable in the protected classes and generic utilization has increased – meaning plans are holding costs down as the protected class ensures that individuals with difficult-to-manage conditions are able to get the medication they need.

My name is Hailey Garcia and I am from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 2 years of living with it. I have tried different medical procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. I knew I had herpes from the first day I started feeling itchy in my pubic area and the pain was very unbearable. I couldn't stand it anymore. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor Odunga to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and whats-app number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him. He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine. Within 5 days, I didn't feel any pain anymore and within 2 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth. I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor Odunga, Whats-App (wa.me/+2348167159012) OR Email [email protected]

I never thought i could smile and be in a happy marriage again if not for the help of DR Moses . I got the doctors Email and i emailed him, he got back to me with some encouraging words, he got me some herbs cream which i use for just 8 days and i began to feel the male enhancement , and without surgery. This went on for a little period of about 10 days and to my surprise my wife keeps screaming that she love my big dick now. Now my wife no longer cheat on me, and my male enhancement is now about 10.5 inches long on erection and off course very large round. And now my wife uses breasts, hips and bums enlargement. I and my wife are very happy for the help rendered to me by DR Moses HERBS, and i want to say a big thanks to Doctor for the help. you can call/whats-app him directly on +2349060529305
