Abstract:

The rapid rise of specialty drugs has brought new hope for many living with complex, rare, and chronic conditions. It has also coincided with growing industry complexities that can often create barriers that prevent these medicines from reaching the patients that need them.

With today’s challenging and uncertain landscape – where a lack of clarity can mean delay, denial and even abandonment of medication – the need for specialized support is more important than ever before.

In this webinar, we’ll explore how field reimbursement services can function as an essential tool for managing the complexities and costs associated with accessing specialty drugs. From identifying problems to enacting solutions, our experts will discuss:

  • Insights into some of the biggest challenges to navigating today’s reimbursement landscape and medication access barriers.
  • The role of field reimbursement managers and how to get the most value out of field reimbursement services.
  • Real-world examples and first-hand accounts of the ways in which field reimbursement managers can help drive better outcomes for brands and patients.
