![]() An article in Patient EngagementHIT covered Partnership’s recent Avalere report, noting that existing utilization management strategies such as formulary tiers and copayment already serve as significant barriers to Medicare Part D drugs. The article notes that the recent proposed rule addressing the 'six protected classes' policy could result in payers implementing more step therapy or prior authorization within the protected classes — a step that could complicate patient access to treatment for those drugs. The piece also points to the data point in the Avalere analysis showing that Part D plans are already using tools within the program to push patients toward lower-cost alternatives. “This new study provides overwhelming evidence that Medicare’s protected classes policy strikes an appropriate balance between allowing plans to utilize medication management techniques and preserving a safety net for patients who absolutely need a particular medication,” said Partnership Executive Director Chuck Ingoglia. “Even with these protections in place, patients must overcome layers of restrictive barriers that plans put in place to access needed medications.”

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]
