Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Infertility Coverage Boosts ART Use and Pregnancy Success: Richard A. Brook, MS, MBA
Q: What are the key limitations of your study that may affect interpretation of the results?
The data capture is limited to what employers pay for and what is contained within health plans; we may miss out-of-plan payments and prior history, and we cannot observe all factors like whether medications were actually taken or all populations outside employed work-based plans.
Infertility Coverage Boosts ART Use and Pregnancy Success: Richard A. Brook, MS, MBA
Q: What were the main findings of your study regarding ART use and pregnancy outcomes based on benefit design?
Higher benefit coverage that includes both diagnostic testing and medications is associated with increased use of fertility medications and higher pregnancy rates, with earlier pregnancies observed in the high-benefit cohort.
Infertility Coverage Boosts ART Use and Pregnancy Success: Richard A. Brook, MS, MBA
Q: Before we dive into your study, can you describe the treatments currently available for women experiencing infertility?
There are lifestyle changes, medications to induce ovulation, in vitro fertilization, surgical options, egg donation, and surrogacy, with many individuals experiencing journeys through multiple routes; the landscape varies by state.
What It Takes to Improve Guideline-Based Heart Failure Care With Ty J. Gluckman, MD
Q: What is the biggest missed opportunity right now in aligning clinical guidelines with managed care policy for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction?
There is a need for better alignment between strong evidence and payer policies, including removing barriers to authorization for therapies like SGLT2 inhibitors and ARNIs, so patients can access timely, guideline-directed therapies; use clear performance measures and shared incentives to drive better adherence and outcomes.
What It Takes to Improve Guideline-Based Heart Failure Care With Ty J. Gluckman, MD
Q: What lessons from remote patient monitoring programs should managed care stakeholders act on now?
Leverage scalable remote monitoring to enable virtual touches, support titration, and enable early post-discharge follow-up; integrate these programs with care teams and consider outsourcing or internal development to fit the system, while ensuring protocols align with evidence and support population health goals.
