2 Formularies are important for patient access Cost affects adherence Formularies differ between plans Especially regarding specialty medications ACA Pre-Existing Conditions Mandate Formularies can be a way around this Pharmacists as a patient advocate
3 To evaluate different formularies in both PartD and ACA Exchange plans that are available in Wisconsin, Texas, Pennsylvania and Oregon to compare the coverage of specialty drugs required for Cystic Fibrosis and Dementia.
4 Examined disease states requiring specialty drugs Made a comprehensive list of drugs used for 4 specialty disease states looking at 2-3 different plan formularies Looked at variation in formulary coverage and selected Cystic Fibrosis and Dementia due to higher variation Surveyed states existing PartD and ACA Exchange Plans Looked at number of insurance companies/plans offered Locations selected Wisconsin (53719) Texas (75201) Pennsylvania (15214) Oregon (97205)
5 Chose ACA Exchange plans and PartD plans offered using the previous zip codes Exchange Plans (through healthcare.gov) Used silver plans if 4 different companies If there were less than 4 companies used 1 silver plan from each company plus a bronze or gold to get to 4 total plans Enrollment Nov. 1 st through January 31 st
6 PartD Plans (through Medicare.gov) Typed in a common set of drugs (including at least 2 from each drug class) and chose a pharmacy Careful to choose plans not requiring preferred pharmacies 1 plan was chosen from each of the four quartiles (e.g. 1 plan will be from the top 25% of plans by cost) Enrollment Oct. 15 th through Dec. 7th
7 Data collected Both disease states used the same ACA Exchange and PartD plans (same formularies) Examined cost sharing (premium costs, out-ofpocket costs, deductible amounts) Examined formulary/non-formulary, PA requirement, step therapy requirement, supply limit and specific tier

16 Medicare Part D vs ACA Exchange Both Medicare Part D and ACA Exchange plans have similar percentages of the dementia drug class on formulary The Medicare Part D plans tend to have more restrictions for dementia drugs when compared to the exchange plans
17 Medicare Part D plans and Exchange plans for Cystic Fibrosis were similar in terms of formulary restrictions and PA requirements Largest difference was cost variation between states for Exchange plans Overall, patients should choose plans carefully to ensure the lowest out of pocket cost and best coverage
