In collaboration with Genentech, PHAR published their analysis of Medicare FFS claims data examining healthcare utilization and costs in a US Medicare population diagnosed with Huntington’s disease (HD). Their investigation quantified healthcare needs and associated costs that were substantially higher among Medicare beneficiaries diagnosed with HD compared to those without, primarily driven by higher outpatient pharmacy utilization. In a stratified analysis, total healthcare costs were highest among beneficiaries with late-stage HD, reflecting the need for effective treatments that delay or prevent disease progression. Their findings can be read in the Journal of Medical Economics, and was previously presented in posters at the 2020 Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) conference.
