Neurological Care Value: Savings and support for the brain and beyond

Pain they can’t escape. Movements they can’t control. Frustration others can’t comprehend. For the more than 100 million Americans diagnosed with a neurological condition, this is everyday reality.1

Medication advancements for migraine and epilepsy have given new hope to patients who suffer from often-debilitating neurological conditions. But they’ve also given plan sponsors new challenges: costs are high, prescribers are often unfamiliar with these new treatments and therapy discontinuation is much too common. So we’re leveraging clinical care and cost management tools to help ensure the right patient is on the right therapy, drive better health and deliver savings others don’t, won’t or can’t.

Effective Jan. 1, 2021, our new Neurological Care Value program will move beyond expectations and beyond what’s on the market today, providing the following:

Each year, a migraine sufferer incurs $9K more in costs than a non-sufferer2, and spend for one epilepsy patient is ~$20K3
