STATEMENT OF NEED/PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Hemophilia is a high cost chronic condition with total annual costs that can average $250,000 or more for severe patients. Optimal outcomes require a collaborative and coordinated patient experience. The collaborative team can include an insurer, Hemophilia Treatment Center (HTC), and specialty pharmacy. Specialty pharmacy services can support patient adherence to treatment and assist physicians, plans, and employers in meeting clinical and/or financial goals. This activity features a Specialty Pharmacy Expert and a leading Hematologist. The activity will provide an advanced clinical update and emphasize the need for well‐coordinated treatment management, best practices to integrate hemophilia care with payer policies, and the value of having collaboration among all stakeholders.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:

Describe recent insights into the safety, efficacy, and attributes of recently approved and emerging hemophilia treatment options
Review alignment of recently approved therapies in the current hemophilia treatment algorithm
Explain hemophilia-related complications associated with inhibitor development and its significant clinical and economic consequences
Apply processes for specialty pharmacy providers to improve communications and collaborations with hemophilia treatment centers (HTCs)
