Having NSA Problems? Better Call The Phia Group
On October 31, 2024
The Independent Dispute Resolution (“IDR”) process was designed to be a cornerstone of the No Surprises Act (“NSA”), a means for resolving claims for payment for out-of-network items and services and a vital mechanism for buttressing the NSA’s protection for plan members against potentially devastating balance billing expenses. Unfortunately, since the NSA took effect on January 1, 2022, things have gone awry on many fronts.

Cobenfy: A Potential Game-Changer for Schizophrenia Patients – But at What Price?
On October 9, 2024
As you’re reading this blog, millions worldwide are suffering from the horrors of schizophrenia, one of the most complex, debilitating, and stigmatized mental disorders inflicted on humanity, the symptoms of which typically manifest themselves in early adulthood, though they are not always so easy to detect. Those afflicted by this condition are desperately trying to manage an array of frightening symptoms (hearing voices, delusions, memory lapses to name a few) while carrying on with their lives. In this country alone there are approximately 2.8 million Americans living with schizophrenia; tragically, many of those 2.8 million Americans won’t be living much longer as there is a particularly acute rate of suicide among people battling schizophrenia. Meanwhile, so many others suffering often experience prolonged bouts of homelessness and/or run afoul of the law. And for decades, pharmacological innovation has moved at such a glacial pace that treatment has largely yielded inadequate improvement in symptoms and/or intolerable side effects during therapy that many have felt inclined to discontinue usage.
Healthcare and Politics… Ugh. Old News!
On September 27, 2024
Donald Trump recently stated that while he will never give up on repealing the ACA, he also said that he was not running on terminating the ACA. This is likely a smart decision, given that a recent Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) poll revealed that for Republican voters, repealing Obamacare was an important issue for a very small percent of respondents. Is this demonstrative of a more widespread loss of interest in health care as a political talking point?

The First Ten: Medicare Unveils Inaugural List of Negotiated Drug Prices
On September 16, 2024
Last month, while many of us were busy vacationing or doing last-minute back-to-school shopping, the Biden administration announced that it had reached an agreement with the titans of the pharma industry to lower prices on the 10 costliest prescription drugs under Medicare, thus bringing to fruition Democrats' decades-long push to allow the government to negotiate directly with pharmaceutical manufacturers. While individual plans had previously been able to haggle over prices with Big Pharma, this development marks a seminal moment as it is the first time that Medicare used its clout to be able to negotiate for the program as a whole.
