the problem
DEMAND IS THERE.
ACCESS ISN’T.
Traditional Channels
Access is restricted
Prior authorization and step therapies delay or prevent treatment
Rebate structures prioritize formulary economics over patients
Plans lack control over cost-sharing and access design
Cash Pay Maze
Access is unaffordable
Millions of clinically eligible members lack benefits
Prices out of reach for most buyers
No aggregation or coordination of demand
