Hemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder that can lead to spontaneous and excessive bleeding especially following injury or surgery. There are several different types of Hemophilia. Treatment includes replacing missing factors in the clotting process. Prescription treatments cost more than $2 million per year in many cases. These claims are a tremendous liability for a self-funded health plan. Collaboration and aggressive co-management of these high costs are critical to the successful management of these claims. |

| To reduce the costs of treatment for Hemophilia, Tokio Marine HCC works with our clients to access favorable contracted pricing and special rate programs. We have partnered with Lifetrac, a vendor, to secure preferred rates for Factor VIIA, Factor VIII, Factor IX, and other high cost prescriptions related to the outpatient treatment of hemophilia. In addition, our specialty claims nurses can assist with review of high dollar inpatient claims for potential negotiations or other reductions. Our specialty nurses can also assist the health plan in identifying a center with 340-B pricing (a federal funded pricing program for hemophilia factor). | |||
