09 Sep '24

Happy Monday! If you are part of the SLEBC Medical plan, I have a few items to update you on. Please forward this email to anyone who is on the plan that may have interest, i.e. spouse, adult children, etc.. * We have a NEW URL to access your claims and plan information: SLEBC.myaptahealth.com<http://www.SLEBC.myaptahealth.com> * Secondly, you may have received mail from Magellan RX Management. Magellan RX Management has merged with Prime Therapeutics. Additional details regarding upcoming changes are listed below. New names for your PBM and pharmacy coming this fall: Magellan Rx Management, your current pharmacy benefit manager (PBM), merged with Prime Therapeutics in late 2022. Effective Oct. 1, Magellan Rx Management will become “Prime Therapeutics Management” and on Sept. 16 Magellan Rx Pharmacy will become “Prime Therapeutics Pharmacy.” You will receive additional information from their pharmacy if you currently use its services. * What this means for you: * On Sept. 16, the new website will be primetherapeutics.com. At that time, you will be able to access your new member portal by visiting wprimetherapeutics.com/member<http://www.primetherapeutics.com/member> and using the same login that you use today. Feel free to bookmark these websites for future use. * Please note that if your plan references magellanrx.com in its Summary of Benefits or other plan documents, starting on Sept. 16 you should instead go to your new member portal at primetherapeutics.com/member. * All current mail order medications should continue to be serviced with no disruption. * The phone number on your ID card remains the same. * I have attached both our SLEBC SBC and Benefit Guide for the 2024 calendar year. You'll find important information and required notices in these that you may want to reference throughout the year.

Fwd: All about GLP-1s 📈

Some info for your reading pleasure Thank you, Tara Tara Johnson ________________________________ From: Prime and Magellan Rx <growthmarketingandtraining(a)primetherapeutics.com> Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2024 4:09:22 PM To: Tara Johnson <tjohnson(a)netroopers.org> Subject: All about GLP-1s 📈 The evolution of GLP-1s [The evolution of GLP-1s] What’s the hype? It's no surprise that glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) drugs have taken the health care industry by storm. GLP-1s, originally designed to treat diabetes, are now being recognized for their potentially drastic weight loss transformations, sparking a seismic demand for these drugs and creating shortages for diabetic patients in need. In fact, in under two years, prescriptions for GLP-1s nearly doubled1. While the FDA has approved select GLP-1 therapies for weight loss, utilization trends show a dramatic increase in the use of unapproved type 2 diabetes GLP-1 therapies for weight loss. What’s on the horizon? [https://go.primetherapeutics.com/l/343791/2024-03-28/2b13wlw/343791/1711647…] When we look at historical utilization and spend patterns, we forecast that increasing GLP-1 weight loss utilization by just 1% of an insured population would drive a 5% increase in self-insured employer drug spend, totaling a rise of $10+ in costs per member per month (PMPM). Ready to dive deeper? The trends are clear: GLP-1s aren’t going anywhere. But we also still have much to learn about these relatively new therapies. Using the link below, take a look through our unique clinical lens with The evolution of GLP-1s, designed to deliver management strategies to help you develop a holistic approach to capitalize on the opportunities in this space.

SLEBC board, See the below/attached. Alex, I couldn't agree more with your group being added to the bill. Do you have a senator who is willing to introduce the amendment? Or is a lobbyist working on this for/with you? How can SLEBC best support you? We do not have a SLEBC lobbyist. Please let us know!
