New episode! Scott and I interview @A_Ciaccia of @46brooklyndata, @3AxisAdvisors, to understand the #340B Drug Pricing Program and why #patients end up shouldering the burden of high drug costs while companies and organizations benefit. lnkd.in/eDy8PW6P #PatientAccess
“We have known for a long time now that there are a lot of different ways that PBMs can distort the underlying costs of medicines and exacerbate some of the very problems that they were originally hired to control.” - @A_Ciaccia ajmc.com/view/in-the-pb… @AJMC_Journal

"What we were seeing in the state of Ohio was that pharmacies were getting paid less and less for the medicines that they were dispensing to their, Medicaid beneficiaries. But on the other end of the transaction, as those cuts were occurring, the state of Ohio was spending more…
"How can we continue to provide benefits in a system where the vendor's incentives are in direct conflict with that of the plan sponsor and the patient? You know, the theme here is transparency." - @A_Ciaccia, President, @3AxisAdvisors To watch the full event visit:…

THREAD: There is a massive, totally legal bribery scheme driving up drug prices in America. And pharmacy benefit managers—shady middlemen you’ve probably never heard of—are right at the center.

Follow @A_Ciaccia, who is probably the most important thinker and analyst in health care in America. Just a national treasure.

This week, I had a fantastic opportunity to hang out in NYC with two of my favorite drug channel experts: Antonio Ciaccia @A_Ciaccia @46brooklyndata and Eric Percher @NephronResearch. We managed to solve all of U.S. healthcare's problems over coffee. Answer coming soon!
@RepAuchincloss + @3AxisAdvisors analysis = PBMs being boxed in with the truth - they are driving up drug prices at the pharmacy counter and it is by design.
At last month's House Oversight Committee hearing on PBMs, arguably no congressman stood out more than @RepAuchincloss, who clearly has an exceptional grasp on how drug pricing actually works and how PBMs exacerbate affordability problems for plan sponsors and patients. A+

.@A_Ciaccia this analysis is so good that it’s painful to think how few people will really take the time to appreciate all the insights you have here about how America experience drug prices. Should be required journal club reading for all biotech executives. @NPLB_org…
New report by @3AxisAdvisors shows the price of the anticoagulant Eliquis at the pharmacy counter varies widely due to PBMs establishing variable payment rates. Reminder that patients at high risk of stroke & clot depend upon consistent, affordable access to such blood thinners.
Fantastic 🧵. Does a much better job of explaining @3AxisAdvisors study findings better than I could ever hope to do.
The truth is that every layer of the drug channel has their hands in the cookie jar – each responsible in their own ways for setting inflated sticker prices, pocketing hidden mark-ups, capitalizing on bad incentives, and feasting on the wallets of plan sponsors & patients.
