3 things to remember

In addition to everything else!

1. Biosimilar drugs can be changed at the pharmacy level. No doc approval required
2. Patient Assistance Programs are requiring enrollment into MPPP
3. Everyone is getting info on MPPP. If you don’t want to deal with a flood of calls/emails in December, better figure out how you telling them now.

I have a question about the sources of your first two statements, but I'll stick with this question for now: Why would a drug manufacturer require this? The beneficiary is incurring no OOP cost, and the Rx is not processed through the PDP. How would MPPP benefit the manufacturer?

Patient Assistance Programs are requiring enrollment into MPPP

ALL plans? I saw something about Pfizer requiring folks to participate in "smoothing" . . . didn't know ALL plans require it.

Is this a PAP requirement or carrier?
