There's been much discussion about just how much impact lowering of out-of-pocket maximums, a major feature of the Part D redesign, will have on patient affordability. Data from RE Assist, our AI-based platform that identifies and validates new sources of copay and deductible foundation support, suggests that even with lower OOP maximums, patients will continue struggle to afford their meds. Indeed, RE Assist clients saw an exponential increase in the volume of patients searching for funds and successfully accessing the corresponding foundation's URL in January 2024, just as a new threshold for patient out-of-pocket costs went into effect. Susan Raiola, Julia Murphy, and Ryan Walsh will be at Access USA 2024 in Philadelphia March 19-21 if you want to understand more.

Advanced Care for Chemotherapy Patients: What Home Care Agencies Should Know When supporting patients undergoing chemotherapy, home care agencies need to step up with tailored, tech-driven strategies that make a difference. Chemotherapy is tough, both physically and emotionally, and proactive care can ease the journey. Here’s how your agency can make an impact: 1. Personalized Care Plans One-size-fits-all doesn’t work in chemotherapy. Tailor each care plan to the patient’s specific needs, ensuring better outcomes and reducing strain on resources. 2. Proactive Monitoring With remote monitoring, you can track vitals in real-time, catching potential issues before they escalate. It’s not just reactive care—it’s staying ahead. 3. Emotional Support is Essential Chemotherapy takes a toll mentally. Equip your caregivers with the right tools to provide emotional and psychological support, helping patients navigate stress and anxiety. 4. Cutting Rehospitalization Rates Fewer hospital visits mean better outcomes and lower costs. Focus on early detection and managing symptoms before they turn into crises. 5. Leverage Technology for Efficiency AI and remote monitoring can optimize care, allowing for smarter, faster interventions and a more streamlined approach to complex patient needs. By focusing on these key areas, your home care agency can enhance patient care, improve satisfaction, and reduce costs. Ready to enhance your chemotherapy care agency? Partner with MyHomecareBiz.

Leveraging insights from Patient Assistance Programs over the past 25 years, we have learned that time really matters for patients seeking immediate access to treatment. We have also learned that the upfront costs required to initiate or continue treatment often cause delays due to patients’ limited cash flow situations. This is particularly the case for patients requiring access to specialty medications or emergency treatment.      With Axios’ latest value-added service for patient affordability program, On-Time Access (OTA) - patients are able to receive immediate access to specialty medicines and treatments, and benefit from flexible installment arrangements at zero interest. This allows patients to repay in small amounts according to their ability to pay and, in some cases, seek partial contribution support if the flexible plans are still not enough.  This innovative model not only enhances the financial sustainability of patient access programs to reach and support more patients, but also significantly reduces waiting times and discontinuation, ensuring patients receive the treatment they need immediately.
