What can practices do to help manage the possibility of having to stock and manage multiple biosimilars for the same reference product?

Jensen: Unfortunately, I do not see this going away anytime soon until we have some more of that biosimilar parity legislation or more collaboration between health systems and payers on choosing preferred products. Until then, we're going to have to stock whatever biosimilars are covered by the patient's insurance in order to prevent that patient liability.
