Step Therapy Enforcement John A. Wylam, Esq. Staff Attorney
Aimed Alliance – Who Are We? ▲ 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that seeks to protect and enhance the rights of health care consumers and providers ▲ Conduct legal analysis, educate stakeholders, and advocate on their behalf ▲ Work to advance policies that protect consumers and doctor- patient relationship ▲ Prioritize step therapy because it represents unreasonable interference with health care decisions and could violate consumer protections if implemented in overly burdensome manner
Step Therapy – What is it? ▲ Payer-driven policy in which patient must try and fail on one medication before payer will cover the prescribed medication ▲ Health care payers often require patients to undergo step therapy to save money

Step Therapy – Common Approaches States often limit how step therapy protocols can be used. ▲ Policy levers: ▲ ▲ Clinical Practice Guidelines ▲ Clinical Review Criteria ▲ Uniform Paperwork ▲ Exceptions Process ▲ Timeline, Emergencies ▲ Already Failed on Same Medication ▲ Appeals ▲ Request Deemed Approved if Not Acted Upon ▲ Transparency Requirements New ideas? ▲
The Challenge ▲ Lack of knowledge among patients and providers about passage of laws and how to utilize these consumer protection laws to ensure patients receive medically necessary treatment and services ▲ Insurers can take advantage of this lack of knowledge ▲ Soft “no” vs. Hard “no” Source: aimedalliance.org
Engagement ▲ Public Education – Know Your Rights campaign ▲ Working 1-on-1 with patients and providers ▲ Determine which laws apply (employer, exchange, Medicare, Medicaid plan / state vs. federal laws) ▲ Advise on exemptions processes ▲ Threaten to file a complaint ▲ “Create your own headline” ▲ Leverage social media ▲ Speak to reporters ▲ Work with insurance commissioners, attorneys general, and state legislators
Engagement/Enforcement ▲ Specific wide-spread issues: ▲ Analyze the situation, research relevant consumer protections, communicate privately with the offending stakeholder(s) ▲ Seek voluntary change in behavior through education, legal arguments, public pressure, and political pressure ▲ Attorney General and Insurance Commissioner are a last resort
