Right Rx Specialty Rx Savings Examples
Case Example 1: $93,000 savings to the plan
RD is a 170LB, 54-year-old white male diagnosed with moderate plaque psoriasis. MD ordered Cosentyx ($145K/year one).
US-Rx recommended submission of progress notes documenting the trial and failure of standard therapies for psoriasis (topical therapies, phototherapy, methotrexate, cyclosporine, Soriatane, Enbrel and Humira). RD failed on all the therapies except for TNF inhibitors. US-Rx recommend a trial of Humira ($52K/year), for a savings of $93,000 in the first year.
Case Example 2: $68,100 savings to the plan
KP is 160LB, 61-year-old white female diagnosed with Hepatitis C genotype 1a. MD ordered a 12-week treatment of Harvoni ($94,500).
The medical records revealed that KP was correctly diagnosed with Hepatitis C genotype 1a. KP was treatment-naive without cirrhosis with a pretreatment HCV RNA of less than 6 million units/mL, with metavir score of F3. US-Rx agreed that the treatment should include direct-acting antiviral oral therapy as requested by MD, however, US-Rx recommended Mavyret for 8-week treatment ($26,400) for a savings of $68,100.
Case Example 3: $33,850 savings to the plan
JS is a 15-year-old white male diagnosed with severe atopic dermatitis. MD ordered Dupixent ($34,150/year).

Since JS has not tried other systemic therapy (cyclosporine, methotrexate, mycophenolate, azathioprine), US-Rx has recommended a trial of one of the systemic agents. MD has agreed to a trial of methotrexate ($300/year) for a savings of $33,850.

The MD considered using home health services to administer methylprednisolone 500mg IV daily for 3 days followed by 160mg daily for 5 days followed by 64mg every other day for 20 days. Acthar Cost $542,305 for 2 week treatment. Methylprednisolone 500mg IV cost of $300 + Nursing Administration $360 + oral methylprednisolone $400 for a total of $1060. Savings of $541,245 per treatment.
