How does implementing tools for increasing biosimilar use differ between smaller and larger practices?
So, at a smaller practice site where maybe you're operating only in 1 state or maybe you just have a few commercial payers, or even if a majority of your payer mix is government payers, you can probably adopt biosimilars in a full fledge swoop. So, all at once vs our approach, which has been a phased approach of initiating new patients on biosimilars and then choosing a biosimilar at prior authorization renewal. So, if you're in a smaller health system, and you're able to pick a preferred product—because, again, maybe your payer landscape is more standardized—then you can have one set implementation date, have reduced inventory burden, and just improve workflows going forward.
