Abstract
Idiopathic hypersomnia (IH) is a chronic, neurologic disorder with a primary symptom of excessive daytime sleepiness. There are challenges to timely, accurate diagnosis of IH and, therefore, to optimal management. To better understand these challenges and identify opportunities, AMCP Market Insights virtually convened an expert panel of managed care stakeholders in April 2024. Key insights from the discussion related to addressing diagnostic challenges in IH, making coverage decisions for medications used in IH, and implementing coverage criteria for medications used in IH. Suggested payer best practices in IH also emerged from the discussion.
期刊介绍:
JMCP welcomes research studies conducted outside of the United States that are relevant to our readership. Our audience is primarily concerned with designing policies of formulary coverage, health benefit design, and pharmaceutical programs that are based on evidence from large populations of people. Studies of pharmacist interventions conducted outside the United States that have already been extensively studied within the United States and studies of small sample sizes in non-managed care environments outside of the United States (e.g., hospitals or community pharmacies) are generally of low interest to our readership. However, studies of health outcomes and costs assessed in large populations that provide evidence for formulary coverage, health benefit design, and pharmaceutical programs are of high interest to JMCP’s readership.
