It's a great day here at the Lake Nona Impact Forum in Orlando, connecting with other passionate innovators about how to make a meaningful impact on patients' lives. Forum themes such as health equity and "disrupting the future of medicine" align perfectly with CivicaScript's mission of making quality generic medicines affordable and available to everyone. Disruptors unite! #LNIF24
We applaud U.S. Sen. Jacky Rosen's efforts to launch a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) inquiry into PBMs that are blocking patient access to low-cost generic medicines. PBMs that profit from higher-priced medicines have a financial disincentive to provide access to low-cost generics, such as those offered by CivicaScript. Profit should not come before patients. https://lnkd.in/ezqVfqRi
$3 Million in savings for one medication with CivicaScript and Highmark Inc. We're proud to be driving these savings for consumers through our low-cost medication to help treat prostate cancer. This is what inspires us as we work to make quality generic medicines affordable and available to everyone. https://lnkd.in/dbvNMpYc
Thank you, Highmark Inc., for sharing this great example of how patients and plans are saving via partnerships with CivicaScript. Thank you for your leadership!
We've taken a leadership role in tackling the cost of prescription drugs, and we're seeing results. For example, Highmark members taking abiraterone acetate, which is used to treat prostate cancer, are saving an average of $90 per month in out-of-pocket expenses for the medication through Highmark’s role with CivicaScript and a select specialty pharmacy. Since this lower cost generic became available in September 2023, savings for our members, customers and the health plan have approached $3 million — and that's just on one drug.
