Member Needs Help With Hospital Bill
Discover how Emry billing experts were able to negotiate a total savings of $31,800 in hospital bills.
Member Cost Avoidance: Rx Prior Authorization
Situation
A member required medication for managing their Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, and their physician prescribed Saxenda. Saxenda was not covered by the insurance plan due to its classification as a weight loss drug, resulting in a high monthly cost of $1,230, which the member could not afford.
Service Provided
Saxenda contains the same active ingredients as Victoza, an FDA-approved drug for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. After verifying the patient’s diagnosis, Emry liaised with the PBM to obtain necessary prior authorization criteria for Victoza and worked with the prescribing physician to initiate the prior authorization process.
Savings
With the successful prior authorization process, the member was switched to Victoza, the right drug for managing diabetes, at a cost of $0 per month – an annual savings up to $14,760.
