A $24 PMPM reduction is great but the true success of this story is a member continuing with medically necessary medication treatment. Read more about how we saw true success exploring international sourcing: ? A MedOne member was prescribed a specialty medication commonly used to create rheumatoid arthritis, atopic dermatitis, and ulcerative colitis. The specialty medication was not covered by the plan and the out-of-pocket expense was just too costly for the member; the average retail cost of this medication is over $7,000 for a one-month supply. Due to this high cost, the member stopped?taking the medication, which should never be the case. After walking through three different strategies within RxAlly, our specialty advocacy program,?the member's dedicated Patient Care Coordinator identified international sourcing as the best course of action. Through a partner in our network of international pharmacies, this member is now receiving continued access to the necessary medication at a much lower price for the plan and a $0 costshare to the member. "It was a game changer for me. I have had no questions, problems or concerns with it and the people in New Zealand, the foreign supplier, been absolutely wonderful. They reach out and I'm in contact with them and they communicate well. Absolutely no problems. It's worked out really, really super well." - MedOne Member If you'd like to learn more about this case study or other strategies within the RxAlly suite of specialty solutions, connect with us at [email protected].

Why we would pass on a $4k rebate. ? Simply put: It is not in the best interest of our clients. ? Since Yusimry came to market in mid-2023, MedOne has proactively shifted members from more expensive brand medications?- those that often come with four-digit rebates - to the biosimilar alternative that boasts a price tag that's 80% lower than the brand counterpart. ? The switch to this #biosimilar has saved MedOne clients over $13,000,000 just this year alone. And it's because of partners like Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company, PBC that we're able to offer this appropriate prescription at the most affordable price to our clients and members. We look forward to continuing to partner with Mark Cuban on his efforts to eliminate the misaligned practices that are so commonplace in the market. ? We pass... because it's the right thing to do.

The University of Iowa held a non-traditional career fair last week: The University of Iowa Fourth Year Student Career Prep Event! Students participated in a variety of activities including CV reviews, mock-interviews, small group info sessions, and a networking event. MedOne’s own Dr. Katrina (Kate) hosted two small group sessions and participated in the networking event portion of the day in which students were able to learn skills on how to approach people at professional gatherings and make connections. Students may also have scored some MedOne merch. ??

We'd like to kick off November celebrating our team with anniversaries this month. Thank you to these five for your continued support of MedOne. Happy Anniversary!

"Prioritize your well-being" remains firmly at the top of our Core Values. Amid rampant #pharmacist burnout and widespread closures of independent pharmacies, this sentiment is crucial. Now more than ever, pharmacists face ever-rising pressures that are pushing them to the brink. And unfortunately, it looks like we have a long road ahead of us, complete with long lines and empty shelves. Dr. Katrina (Kate) shares about her journey after pharmacy school, how she navigated through, and what landed her at MedOne where she's able to provide patients with high-quality care while prioritizing her well-being. To the pharmacists, technicians, and staff working in retail, we see you for who you are: essential roles in our healthcare system. Thank you for showing up and pushing through. As a #PBM on the right side of change, we look forward to regulatory changes and key industry shifts that will not threaten but empower the community pharmacy and pharmacists nationwide. More information on the side of pharmacy Dr. Kate references can be found in the comments. #AmericanPharmacistsMonth | #WomenInPharmacy
