SPRx different from other Rx
SPRx split between pharmacy & medical benefit is ~50:50
Specialty Rx site of care varies by drug & therapeutic category
Predictive biomarkers can identify patients most likely to respond (aka ‘personalized medicine’)
Predictive biomarkers for ~20% of cancer patients today, and ~30% by 2018
High specialty pharmacy Rx trend but much less visible for the medical benefit Rx trend
Shift to hospital outpatient-coded site of care, where billing is 2x-3x higher
Biosimilars will complicate SPRx management
Brand replacement by small molecule generics
Reference pricing of drugs may take off
ACOs have high growth, visibility and hopes
But ACO SPRx management is a work in progress: Don’t expect too much yet • University HealthSystem Consortium (UHC) is an alliance of >100 academic medical centers and nearly 250 of their affiliate hospitals • UHC will launch an SPRx program to provide patients with access to the SPRx they need at the hospitals where they are treated. • The program will help members succeed in an ACO environment by coordinating care and services among inpatient settings, outpatient settings, infusion clinics, and pharmacies. • The program will use a data repository based on medical record data to track patient outcomes to promote the best therapeutic regimens and identify patients who have not responded to therapy.

Specialty Medication - Overview
Medications are produced via recombinant technology or biotechnology. Originally MD-injectables and infusibles but now include self-injectables, oral and inhaled drugs. High cost medications; $12,000 - $400,000 per patient per year. Complex patient care requiring intensive clinical monitoring and frequent dosing changes. Detailed patient compliance required for effective treatment. Specialized product handling requirements or REMS.
Limited or exclusive product distribution.

Specialty Market Challenges
PRIORITIES
CHALLENGES
Transparency
No visibility into specialty spend billed under revenue codes. Cannot see ASP pricing under medical. Administration costs are unmeasured and unmanaged. Cannot see specialty rebates by drug under Rx or medical benefit.
Alignment
Vendor may promote higher cost distribution channels. Vendors do/ cannot manage outpatient hospital pricing. Vendors may not support copay assistance programs.
Coordination — across pharmacy and medical benefit on: Cost-sharing Medical policies Pricing Rebates Clinical care
Cost-sharing not historically coordinated. Different departments responsible for medical and pharmacy (health plan). PBM managers pharmacy while health plan manages medical (employer). Systems do not allow for integrated management

Implement Clinical Policies Under Medical
Many self-insured plans have not implemented medical policies for specialty drugs covered under medical. Key opportunities include:
– TNF Inhibitors – IVIG – Visco Supplements – Oncology drugs Coordination of medical policies across pharmacy and medical is important for certain specialty drug classes.
©2014 Artemetrx Specialty Drug Solutions
Optimize Your Medical Vendor Contract
Specialty drug pricing – Price guarantees Specialty drug administration fees Specialty drug rebates – Inflation protection – Pass thru Reporting Ability to carve out
©2014 Artemetrx Specialty Drug Solutions
Coordinate the Pharmacy and Medical Benefit
Coordinating the benefits takes time Key elements include: – Cost-sharing • Across benefits • Within benefits – Medical policies – Pricing and network strategy – Clinical care
©2014 Artemetrx Specialty Drug Solutions
Summary
Absent more active management, plan sponsors will see specialty drugs outpace traditional drugs in the near future. Specialty drugs under medical are ripe with opportunities for more active management: – Savings opportunities range from 10% (Medicaid) to > 40% (commercial groups) specialty medical spend – Site of care and clinical management are often the largest opportunities Integrated tracking and management of specialty drugs is foundational to successful specialty drug management.

Determining Pharmacy or Medical Benefit Coverage DETERMINING MOST APPROPRIATE BENEFIT ACROSS MEDICAL AND PHARMACY
How is the drug administered? Which benefit supports better patient care and lowest cost? Pharmacy Benefit
Medical Benefit
Oral, injected or other drugs that are self-administered by member at home
Administration / handling by physician or nurse
Distributed by retail, mail or specialty pharmacy
Careful physician oversight and support needed Faster access and less disruptive to members/physicians
We are at risk for 8 million lives for both pharmacy and medical, which motivates better care and cost management.

Billing Codes ACCURATE DRUG REIMBURSEMENT AT EVERY SITE OF SERVICE
J-codes • Doctor’s Office
•
A J-code billing unit is specific to the generic ingredient, and a set quantity. Commonly used for infused/injectable medications billed to the medical benefit through the doctor office.
National Drug Codes (NDCs) • • Home Infusion / Specialty Pharmacies
NDC is specific to the drug (brand) manufacturer, dose and package. Used in the U.S. to identify all medications, PBMs routinely capture the NDC. We capture this within the Specialty Pharmacy and home infusion providers.
Revenue Codes • Outpatient Hospital
Used by hospitals, a 3-digit code that denotes where and what types of services are being performed. Revenue codes do not identify drug level information.
Unclassified Codes Used when there is not drug specific coding available or when a drug is new to market e.g. J3490, J3590 Figure 66: Unclassified Codes – Medical Benefit 2012

Preferred Products
Negotiate preferred products across both pharmacy and medical benefits to leverage lower cost alternatives and rebates
Physician Engagement
Physician specialist engagement programs to promote higher value products

• 40-50% savings from implementing a site of service strategy across the board may not be a realistic expectation • Some patients will need high acuity clinical oversight in a hospital outpatient • Many facilities already have competitive rates

Site of Service Effective Strategy Considerations Drug Choice • •
Are targeted medications safe candidates for alternative sites of care ROI: Financial savings vs operational costs
Site of Service Patient Criteria •
Clinical criteria for patient screening – who should stay in the hospital outpatient?
Infusion Partners • •
Keep prescriber connected to patient Reporting on successes and infusion outcomes
Benefit/Incentive • •
Benefit coverage directs the site of care through PA/medical necessity Financial incentives for movement, out-of-pocket max may be reached quickly
Disruption • •

Smooth transition of member to new services Socializing policies with network providers
Billing Codes ACCURATE DRUG REIMBURSEMENT AT EVERY SITE OF SERVICE
J-codes • Doctor’s Office
•
A J-code billing unit is specific to the generic ingredient, and a set quantity. Commonly used for infused/injectable medications billed to the medical benefit through the doctor office.
National Drug Codes (NDCs) • • Home Infusion / Specialty Pharmacies
NDC is specific to the drug (brand) manufacturer, dose and package. Used in the U.S. to identify all medications, PBMs routinely capture the NDC. We capture this within the Specialty Pharmacy and home infusion providers.
Revenue Codes • Outpatient Hospital
Used by hospitals, a 3-digit code that denotes where and what types of services are being performed. Revenue codes do not identify drug level information.

Because of inconvenience, doctors may refuse service
2
Member goes to the hospital at an increased cost.
3
PBM’s clinical programs don’t apply in outpatient facilities which further decreases management opportunities.
J codes is not feasible. While doctor offices use J codes, hospitals contractually use revenue codes for reimbursement. 81

Site of Care: Overview
Site of Care Management focuses on redirecting specialty patients to the lowest cost and most clinically appropriate location for their infusions. These programs are typically voluntary for the patient and/or physicians. For most plan sponsors, site of care represents the single biggest savings opportunity across specialty drug management.
86
©2014 Artemetrx Specialty Drug Solutions
Site of Care: Savings Opportunity Average annual savings per patient is $20,000- $25,000. Savings represents 12-25% of total medical specialty drug spend, depending on whether oncology drugs are included. Savings total $25-$50 PMPY across all the entire membership.

Overview
Grace Fill Elimination
• Require first fill from the specialty pharmacy while allowing acute access to therapy when needed • Provides opportunity to encourage lower-cost but clinically appropriate products and to get patients into clinical programs sooner
Price Protection Expansion
• Continue expansion of price protection clauses in contracts with specialty manufacturers to mitigate excessive price increases
Increased Physician Engagement
• Physician specialist engagement programs to influence selection of preferred (and lower cost) products for start of therapy
Lower Cost Alternatives
• Establishing programs/services that help OptumRx work with members to identify lower cost alternatives and work directly with providers to switch medications.
Medical Necessity
• Utilization management reviews beyond notification; assessing response to therapy for continuation, requirement of specialty provider, dose optimization, and driving to the lowest cost clinically appropriate therapy

Specialty Pipeline: Staying Ahead of the Curve Plan sponsors were generally unprepared for Solvaldi. – Gilead estimates full-year product sales of $21 billion to $23 billion, compared to initial outlook of $11.3 billion to $11.5 billion. – Unexpected Off-label use (Sovaldi + Olysio) and indications (Genotypes 2-4 & interferon-free use).
– Coverage policies implemented reactively and relied heavily on PBM recommendations. –Policies range from coverage with no limitation to no coverage.
New Hep C alternatives will reach the market in late 2014/2015. –All oral “interferon free” regimens (multiple) & near 100% cure rate.
Plan sponsors should understand current use of Solvadi and begin planning now for coverage policies for the new therapies. 133

Biosimilars “A biotherapeutic product which is similar in terms of quality, safety and efficacy to an
already licensed reference biotherapeutic product” (WHO) Biosimilars are expected to have no clinically meaningful differences from the brand name biologic and are similar to generics for small molecules except: – Biosimilars are not exactly identical to the brand product (may not be interchangeable). – Estimated cost to develop a biosimilar is $75 - $250 million compared to $2-3 million to develop a small molecule generic. Biosimilars are expected to cost 10-30% less than the brand name product. Prior to 2012, a pathway to develop and manufacture biosimilars did not exist in the U.S. July 24, 2014, the FDA accepted its first application for biosimilar development under the new U.S. biosimilar pathway from Sandoz for filgrastim.
