We build the tools, resources, staffing, and training to attend to our patients’ unique needs.

Understanding the complexities of biologic costs and biosimilars is key to better healthcare. Our CMO, Iyad Houshan,M.D., FACP, highlights WellBe's commitment to managing these costs while prioritizing our patients' well-being.
Biological medications, also known as biologics, are a significant driver of rising healthcare costs, particularly in Medicare. These drugs are derived from living organisms and are often used to treat complex chronic conditions such as cancer, autoimmune diseases, and rare genetic disorders. While biologics revolutionized treatment, their high cost can place a heavy financial burden on both patients and the healthcare system. To focus on Medicare, here are a few factors that impact Medicare cost: · High price tags: annual cost per patient is tens of thousands of dollars. Medicare Part B covers biologics administered in clinical settings, and Medicare Part D includes biologics prescribed for self-administration · Increased utilization: spending on these drugs has increased substantially between 2010 and 2019 and continues to climb. The top 20 biologics rose by more than 195% · Increased out-of-pocket expense for Medicare patients (beneficiaries), which in turn has an impact on medication adherence Some of the efforts underway to curb the impact of biologics on Medicare costs: · Inflation Reduction Act (IRA): Beginning in 2026, Medicare will have the authority to negotiate prices for some high-cost drugs, including biologics · Promoting biosimilars: the FDA approved over 40 biosimilars. Although biosimilars (comparable to generics for biologics) have similar efficacy and offer potential cost savings, their uptake in the U.S. has been slower due to legal and market barriers. Innovation starts with an obstacle. It’s often the constraints, challenges, or inefficiencies in a system that spark the need for breakthrough solutions. In the case of biosimilars, the obstacle is the unsustainable cost of biologics. The innovation is a clinically equivalent alternative that lowers cost and expands access without compromising outcomes. Our WellBe team understands the complexity and significance of switching from biologic medications to biosimilars. I am proud of this multidisciplinary team of providers managing drug costs while maintaining clinical efficacy and safety, advocating for biosimilars to ensure clear patient education on effectiveness and safety, documenting shared decision-making, and, most importantly, monitoring outcomes desired by the patients and their families.
