Caremark Liability Following the SEC’s New ESG Reporting Requirements

Recent developments in the Court of Chancery concerning a corporate board’s duty to monitor and provide oversight over a corporation’s operations, so-called Caremark claims, are likely to intersect with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) proposed new ESG disclosure obligations to create a new category of corporate risk.  In this article, we discuss the recent trends in Delaware law…

Working in healthcare reminds me on the daily that the US medical system is fucked up but a recent example that hasn't escaped my mind for weeks is that a patient with a new diagnosis for HIV was trying to get his medication... but his insurance rejected it and said that they don't cover any HIV meds

#it was also first line treatment too #doctor had to write a letter and everything #and i think they still didnt cover it cause they had to get samples or something so the patient could get something treat his hiv #idk how that is even legal #no one can convince me that private insurance is good when shit like this happens #also saw a doctor talk about how he had to do a prior auth for Lisinopril #Lisinopril... cheap ass drug that is used like crazy #also dont get cvs caremark

Welcome to another episode of Bailey being forgetful which puts Bailey in a bad place.

You might know how I need to refill my medication, right? and in order to get a refill delivered you need doctor approval. so i thought i had an online doctors appt scheduled but turns out i fucking didnt. now my mom and i are calling the doctor and trying to get a refill in for me. But Bailey can’t remember to check the caremark website for refill orders. And Bailey also couldn’t remember that Bailey had a doctors appt for refill approval scheduled in June. that i apparently just straight up forgot to go to. so my refill for august was just- denied. cause i had no doctor approval.

So now i just found out that I run out of medication in two days. how delightful! /s

I think a refill should be coming tomorrow so I am hoping that it does…

#daily bailey #this whole thing has been a mess and the fact that i live in a different state now just complicates everything #and technically i shouldn’t be seeing a pediatrician anymore #i wish i wasn’t so darn forgetful it ruins everything doesn’t it :( #i don’t want to go off of them for days at a time i can’t stop #my mental health is already iffy rn and they make everything so much better

So, CVS/Caremark.

These guys are pharmacy benefit managers, and when you leave CVS you also leave their PBM. They don't want you to do that any more than Spectrum wants you to stop your cable service. My doctors have all sent prescriptions to the local hospital-affiliated pharmacy that offers free delivery in a given radius. Then they cancelled the prescriptions with CVS so that CVS will not fill and then bill my insurance.

Also, Blue Shield was very interested that they were being billed for a 90-day supply of said drugs when I was being issued a 30-day supply. This is something I repeatedly raised with CVS and got nowhere.

Today's Saga...

Been trying since Feb to get insurance approval for a medication my cardiologist wants to switch me to. It requires a pre-authorization. It's not any rare or wildly exotic thing, either. It's just a statin. Today the pharmacy calls and says that they've faxed the pre-auth form to my cardiologist 3 times, since February, with no response.

So I call the cardiologist and relay the message. They check my file. It's not noted. They check the faxes. Nothing. Hmmmmm. I get their fax number.

Call back the pharmacy. They also think it's odd too. We confirm the fax number they have. They're the same. They send another faxed request.

I call the cardiologist's office. Did they get the fax from the pharmacy? Nope. Call back after lunch, as the fax machine is just spitting out form after form after form.

At this point, I'm vaguely wondering why *I* am in the middle of this telephone tree. After lunch I dutifully call back. No fax from the pharmacy.

I call the pharmacy back to let them know. They are still puzzled. They fax it out again. They ask me to call the cardiologist to see it goes through.

I call, yet again. Yet again, there is no fax from the pharmacy. I call the pharmacy and relay the lack of fax.

THEY call the cardiologist to get the info over the phone, to fill out the form, to send to the insurance. The office manager refuses to provide the info, citing a lack of authorization from ME. The patient. The patient who has been calling all morning to try to get this done.

Now I'm more puzzled. I call the cardiologist's office, to see if there is a way to get the form to them, without using the fax. Email maybe? Or a download from the insurance company site? The office manager then tells me that the doctor sent all of the info in back in February. To CVS/Caremark. The insurance company's preferred pharmacy.

I don't use that pharmacy. I have never used that pharmacy. The doctor's office has my pharmacy contact info.

Office manager goes on a bit of a rant about drug costs and that she uses the same medication, and to go to Sav-on to get it. I listen. I "hmmm," I "uh huh, wow!" Eventually I can hang up, but not before she tells me to go to the pharmacy, pick up the forms, take them to the doctor's office, so they can fill them out, then *I* can run them back to the pharmacy. I sigh. Deeply.

I call my pharmacy back. I ask how much the medication is, if I pay cash, and use Good Rx. $17.00 for a 30 day supply, she says. If I went through my insurance, it would be $15.00. I tell her to fill it, and I'll just pay for it. Two dollar savings isn't worth this hassle.

I'm exhausted.

do you know anything about the national adderall shortage? my doc wanted to wait til it was calmed down before giving me a prescription but I don't really know how to check that stuff

i know a little bit!!! Theres a big post on r/ADHD about it, and you can check the FDA database to see if there is an official shortage of amy drug. of course, that doesnt necessarily mean your local pharmacy will have it, or will have a medication your insurance will cover. The problem I was having was that all the pharmacies near me were out of the generic stuff, and my insurance wouldnt cover anything else. I clould have fought them on it (and my psychiatrist was ready to) but without my meds, I didnt have the executive function to actually follow through on that. (Also, my prescription is really high (40mg a day babey) so some pharmacies i talked to werent willing to fill it even when they did have enough pills, because it would entirely clear them out)

(also without my adderall it was almost impossible for me to push through and do things i was anxious about, so i had to make my mom call pharmacies for me to see if they had any adderall lol. they did not)

i ended up finally getting my medication through a mail order pharmacy, which is definitely more expensive than getting it at my regular pharmacy (getting my prescription filled at the grocery store was about $25 for 30 days, and through Caremark its $100 for 90 days) so thats not going to be an accessible option for everyone, but it worked for me

Looking at the FDA database I linked above, they list all the manufacturers and when they're expected to have amphetamines back in stock. The latest date on there is by August 2023. i mean, time will tell if that's an accurate estimate, but it looks like thats when we're expecting things to calm down

hope this helps!!!

Some part of my insurance plan is doing something shitty with my testosterone coverage it needed authorization but when my doctor sent authorization they rejected it bc it didn't have enough information/wasn't specific enough as to why I require T this feels transphobic and the doctor needs to send a revision to the auth to the caremark people or I'll lose coverage for my hormones. Fuck this

So what happened at the FTC? All five commissioners voted on a policy statement saying that the use of rebates by dominant middlemen in the insulin market were a potential violation of different laws under the jurisdiction of the FTC, including the Robinson-Patman Act. This vote is a signal to every private antitrust lawyer, state attorney general, and judge, that the Robinson-Patman Act can once again be dusted off and used.

Insulin is a great test case for this law, because everyone knows how unfair and inefficient the insulin market truly is. It’s a medication that has been around since 1922, and yet it has been increasing in cost every year for decades. And while the three main producers engage in all sorts of schemes to push up cost, most of the high cost of insulin is actually a result the middlemen named pharmacy benefits managers - CVS Caremark, Cigna (Express Scripts), and United Healthcare (OptumRx) - who manage and control how medicine is priced and sold. PBMs demand rebates of up to 70% for the right to have an insulin company sell their product to patients. These rebates in turn massively drive up the price of insulin.

caremark put in an override on my meds and i can pick them up today hallelujah

[nostalgebraist-autoresponder]

Dear Frank, I would like to obliterate Big Pharma. How could we accomplish this lofty goal together?

I have been thinking about this a lot lately. I am not an expert on pharmaceuticals, but here are some thoughts:

(1) The generic drug industry is pretty healthy and competitive -- it's hard to imagine the FDA approving drugs that don't work well enough to be worth manufacturing at all (or very difficult to imagine), because there will always be companies out there who can beat them in terms of price if they do; thus any regulatory intervention in this area would need to carefully account for the fact that many or most consumers get their prescriptions filled with generics anyway

(2) "Brand name" drugs aren't as much better than generics as people tend to think. For example, here is one NYT article saying that branded statins are only ~5% more effective than generic ones. A few years ago, when I was working on a project involving cancer research, we got quotes from two different pharmacy providers, and found that a 30 day supply of a widely used anticancer medication cost $796 from CVS Caremark, and $84 from Walgreens, which makes you wonder whether the maker of the expensive version has actually done anything other than slap its logo on a bottle full of pills

In general, when doing experiments like this, your expectations should not be "how long does the treatment last," but rather "is it statistically distinguishable from placebo?" If so, then it doesn't matter how cheaply it could be produced.

Therefore, even though Big Pharma seems bad right now, it is unlikely that excessive government regulation of pharma would help anyone except generic drugmakers. And given that there are already many kinds of competition preventing Big Pharma from becoming too powerful, I feel skeptical that further regulation is needed (assuming that governments generally care about saving lives).

But maybe I just haven't thought through what kind of change might fix things? How would you propose fixing this problem?

P.S. One thing that seems relevant is how much money our various government agencies spend on drugs per year, compared to private insurance plans etc., and whether those agencies are responsible for creating new patents themselves or simply distributing current patented products. I've seen talk about paying lower prices for these products, but no discussion of any mechanism by which this happens.

The above discussion may also seem confused, since it suggests that the consumer is irrelevant to what goes on between Big Pharma and the FDA. But while I realize that individuals are powerless against such forces, if we want to make policy changes affecting millions of people, we cannot ignore the actual situation where individual patients find themselves. (We may not be able to solve problems for everyone, but we shouldn't pretend we have solved nothing.)
