  12. The Distribution Channel Challenge • Payers know there is waste in the system and want to use distribution channels that will minimize excess expenditures • With costs continuing to grow and care delivery becoming increasingly integrated with financial risk, which specialty distribution channel(s) will win? • Do we need all these channels? Does each add real and differentiated value? • How can and should the various channels integrate? • How can each channel prove its value to payers?

  29. Specialty Pharmacy and Dramatic Change In the Oncology Channel Discussion Burt Zweigenhaft CEO Onco360

  30. Ralph StayerFlight of the Buffalo (1994) "Change is hard because people overestimate the value of what they have—and underestimate the value of what they may gain by giving that up.”

  31. Oncology Drug Market Hitting Critical Inflection Point • Oncology Rx spend projected to grow to $130B by 2020 • 50% of drugs in development are oncology medications • 36 new cancer drugs next 3 years • 907 cancer drug clinical trials or FDA review, 2x number in pipeline 6 years ago • 90% of oncology drugs approved in the last five years cost $20,000/3-month cycle Sources: The Specialty Pharmacy Times, the National Institutes of Health, and Industry Reports.

  32. Purchaser's Demand Call to Action Trend is Unsustainable! • Commercial Payer Cancer Cost 2010: * NE Commercial Payer • $457.6MM per/1MM lives • (Includes: In-Patient, Out-Patient, E&M, Rx Administration, Drugs, Surgery, Radiation, Imaging and Labs) • $187.2MM per/1MM lives • (Includes: E&M, Rx Administration and Drugs) • Cost trend growth faster than CPI & Medical Cost Inflation at 12% - 23% • Medicare cancer incidence 48 per 1,000 members • Commercial cancer incidence 9 per 1,000 members • 35% undergoing treatment Average Payer Costs Per Cancer Patient Sources: Specialty Pharmacy Times, NIH, HealthSource, ASCO, and Industry Reports.

  33. 75% Increase In Cancer Incidence Projected By 2030 1.7 MM New Cancer Cases Projected for 2012….was 1.4 MM in 2010 10,000 New Beneficiaries in Medicare or 3.6 MM a year

  34. The Average Oncologist’s Drug Spend • Annually Prescribes $3MM Payer Patient Mix By Drug Admin Route

  35. Drugs Used to Drive-Dominate Practice Margins Decline In Rx Margin for Oncologists

  36. Care Shifts to Hospitals at Higher Costs • Un-sustainable shift in cost with no improvement in care • Leveraging 340b drug costs and Part A versus Part B Medical Billing • Medicare and Payers will burn down reimbursement over time 54% Of Practices Closed, Sent Patients Elsewhere, Or Were Acquired By Hospitals Source: Community Oncology Alliance, 2011 Study

  37. Moving Away From Traditional Drug “Buy and Bill”

  38. Oncologist Shortage Crisis = Need Physician Extenders Board Certified Oncology Pharmacists Fill GAP

  39. Concordance with Evidence and Outcomes is the Issue

  40. Oncology Drug Dispensing is Complex Typical Daily Chemotherapy Regimen: Across Multiple Benefits Typical Chemo Administration Kit:

  41. Cancer Protocols = Drugs are Inter-dependent

  42. Pharma HUB Workflow Patient Support Services Key Product Data BCOP Patient Payment Claims Provider (MD/Hospital) Manufacturer Oncology Pharmacy Payer 3PL

  43. Universal Problem In Cancer - Oncology “Payers own ALL Medical Patients but not always the Specialty or Oral Drug Risks due to PBM carve out nature of Industry” Benefit Fragmentation Results In Dispensing Fragmentation Clinical Fragmentation Poor Outcomes Analytical and Registry Gaps Less Patient/Provider Satisfaction Less Utilization Control Less Cost Contracting Control More Adverse Events Hospitalization Adverse Site of Care Transfers Drug Waste • PBM • Orals and sometimes Injectable • Specialty • Orals, Injectable and sometimes Infused newer agents • Medical • Infused or Physician-Outpatient Drug Administration

  44. Oncology Requires Integrated Benefit Solution • Drugs will be as ASP+ Whatever • Value of Clinical Services most important to patient, oncologist, Pharma and payers • Leverage combined experience to optimize benefit integration and control • ACO’s strive to achieve responsible initiatives and activities to deliver on quality and value Care Mgmt.

  45. Value Based Continuum of Care Services

  46. Oncology Clinical Service Values… Case Studies

  47. Oncology Pharmacy Channel Requires Unique Competencies • Board Certified Oncology Pharmacy Experts • Comprehensive Benefit Access Oral-Injected-Infused • Compressed Operational Timelines • Treatment Day & Dose Dispensing • Pathway Concordance with Evidence and Clinical Flexibility • Medication Treatment Management (MTM) • Patient Financial Assistance and Insurance Exchanges • Access to Limited Distribution and Pedigree drugs • Highest Standard Accreditation and Facilities • USP 795 & 797 Compliant Clean Rooms aka NECC • NIOSH Compliant Product Storage & Handling aka NECC

  48. More Change Ahead CMS Driving Bus • Near term is tiered ASP….. meaning that the larger the ASAP the smaller the percentage of add-on payment • Seems less likely given that sequestration occurred and docs are now effective getting roughly ASP plus 4.3% or loss of 33% margin • Longer term payment options:  • Bringing back CAP • Moving some or all buy and bill drugs intro Part D (Yesterday)  • Coverage options are the ones we always talk about—greater payment for outcomes, following clinical protocols, risk sharing arrangements (think ACOs) and value based purchasing! • General issue—when does the exception (340B) swallow the rule (ASP)?  Tremendous growth of 340B could become the majority of cancer drugs purchased

  49. Part B to Part D Late Breaking News • CMS quote, MA = Medicare Advantage plans, which are Medicare plans offered by a health plan such as Aetna, United, etc.  Patients are able to CHOOSE to brown bag a Med B drug, and have it covered under Part D so long as the following stipulations are met: • Patient is enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan that offers Part D coverage • The drug being prescribed is a Part B drug that CAN ALSO be covered under Part D • The patient ELECTS/STATES PREFERENCE to receive the drug from a pharmacy instead of getting it from their physician
