Introductory IUS training course for the IBD team at Capital Digestive Care today to begin their certification journey. Bringing IUS into private and community practices will be the next frontier to bring this tool to more IBD patients! 🤓🙌 @iUSCAN

After IBD fellowship, I could treat complex disease, but didn’t know anything about the business of medicine.

You cannot survive on clinical excellence alone in community practice.

The care model—not the clinicians—needed to change.

[Erica R Cohen MD @ericarosecohen]

✔️monday carefirst letter:
Vedo, risa, Ifx, renflexis not formulary for care first 1/25.

So providers work to heal pts, then we change tx?

#bcbs do you take call when they get sick?? 👀

What say you @CareFirst
@AmerGastroAssn @AmCollegeGastro @CrohnsColitisFn #letgetloud

[Erica R Cohen MD @ericarosecohen]

@CareFirst letter: Entyvio, skyrizi, cimzia, infliximab and renflexis not formulary 1/25. So providers get pts well, then we change tx? #bcbs do you take overnight call when they get sick?? 👀

Who says you cant build integrative IBD care into community practice? @AmCollegeGastro #ACG2024

✔️30 IBD home pts vs 30 SOC IBD pts
⭐️higher rates of steroid sparing remission in home vs SOC at 12 m
⭐️higher rates of prevent health completion vs SOC
🥇sustainable in community

[Erica R Cohen MD @ericarosecohen]

@oridamas @AmyStewartNP @AmCollegeGastro @CapDigestive 👍mean time to approval: 4.03 days, time to 1st dose: 14.17 days

⭐️appeal req - 19 days.
No appeal - 3 days p<0.001

✔️specialty pharm delays care

🥇dedicated PA staff for IBD tx improves outcomes. Infusion helps offset cost, will be an issue as reimbursement declines.

[Erica R Cohen MD @ericarosecohen]

Who says you cant do research in private practice!

Kudos to @AmyStewartNP for her amazing work on ibd prior auth in the community! We are so lucky to work in group that prioritizes timely access to IBD medication! #ACG2024 @AmCollegeGastro @CapDigestive

So proud of the work this amazing group has done creating a framework for delivery of comprehensive IBD care in the community . 🙏 to @AmerGastroAssn for the endless support and guidance. 🫶🫶

[Erica R Cohen MD @ericarosecohen]

Thank you to the @AmerGastroAssn for speaking up for community IBD pts. Reimbursement models need to change(and be transparent) or we cannot deliver high quality outpatient infusion services in the community.
