GLP-1 Regimen Optimization Saves $6K Per Member
Minimizing Waste and Lowering Cost by Addressing Duplicative Therapy for Diabetes
Background
GLP-1s have revolutionized diabetes therapy in recent years. These important therapies are having significant impact on members, but payer affordability can be a challenge. We are finding that member-level regimens may contain older oral diabetic medications that do not add clinical value to a GLP-1 drug and contribute to waste.
Opportunity
Our pharmacy team identified a member taking a GLP-1 and an older oral diabetic medication together.
Result
We contacted the provider’s office to discuss the regimen and lack of evidence available to demonstrate effectiveness and the prescriber opted to discontinue the older medication.
