Study Results
While Rare Patient Voice does not have access to the results of studies conducted by our clients, we do conduct internal studies from time-to-time and share these results back with those who participated. A recent study used the data gathered from 229 T1D patients and caregivers. While the study focused on patients with T1D, many of the insights gathered and formulated can be applied to other diseases and conditions. A summary of findings is provided below:
- Insurance plays an important role in the life and treatment of T1D patients and caregivers. They can affect the direction and overall outcomes of these treatments.
- A majority (55%) of the people surveyed report that their insurers have asked them to switch to brands that were not the ones agreed upon with their physicians. Only 1% out of the 55 reported that the new brands were better.
- Over 70% also reported that aside from having limited coverage from their policies, they also encounter delays in insurers’ response times.
- Out of pocket costs remain the top issue when it comes to market access according to T1D patients and caregivers. These people reportedly spend an average of $300 every month for T1D treatment out of their own pockets.
- Only 33% of those surveyed have used copay, drug coupons, or drug discounts. Only a quarter of these people have used these discounts to pay down the deductible.
- In terms of access to the care they need, some patients and caregivers report either having to go 4-5 hours away to find a qualified endocrinologist or needing to go outside their insurer’s network, which means more out of pocket costs.
