Translating AMCP Nexus Data Into Care Strategy for Neurology and Mental Health

Zachary Contreras from Sharp Health Plan discusses findings from the AMCP Nexus study showing that dextromethorphan-bupropion (DM-BUP) was associated with lower total health care costs compared with other therapies, outlining strategies managed care organizations can use to promote cost-effective treatment adoption.

Zachary Contreras from Sharp Health Plan explains how managed care organizations can support early adoption of DM-BUP to prevent high-cost care episodes, emphasizing the need for predictive analytics, streamlined access, and real-world comparative data to guide treatment sequencing decisions.

New data suggests dextromethorphan plus bupropion may offer managed care cost containment by increasing remission rates in depression.

Managed care organizations must prioritize dextromethorphan-bupropion based on sustained efficacy, improved remission rates, and long-term safety data to reduce costly treatment-resistant depression.
