The Value of Investing in Adherence:
Heart Failure Study
• 49.9% of heart failure patients
studied were not optimally
adherent
• Re-hospitalization rates of
non-adherent heart failure
patients is nearly twice that
of adherent patients
• Optimal adherence saves
almost $40,000 per year

Thomson Reuters Value of Medication Adherence
(VOMA) project
• In January 2010 Thomson Reuters initiated the VOMA project, which was
commissioned by CVS Caremark.
• The project focuses on the impact of medication adherence on these metrics:
– Net total annual healthcare costs (pharmaceutical, medical, and total healthcare costs)
– Annual healthcare utilization (hospital, emergency department, and physician visits)
– Annual worker productivity (absenteeism and short-term disability)
• These outcomes will be examined among patients with at least one of the
following conditions:
–

–
–
–

Asthma/COPD
Congestive heart failure
Diabetes

How Non-Adherence Happens

for the entire prescribed time period
Compliance: Taking medication doses

Consumer Research: Consumers are Confused
by The Health Care System
• The health care system doesn’t make
it easy for consumers to do the right
thing.
• They don’t know who can tell them
how to save money
• Providers involved with their health
care are disconnected from one
another.
• Time demands to stay adherent
create big challenges for many

Best in Class Strategies to Maximize
Adherence
• Promote 90 day supplies over 30 day supplies to drive higher adherence rates
– 90 day fills vs. 30 day fills reduce non-adherence by 40%
– A 90 day supply option with face to face interaction can be even more effective
in improving adherence
• Leverage Clinical Programs through Preferred Pharmacies
– First fill counseling, refill reminders and outreach programs are critical
– Addressing both mail and retail consumers is critical
• Implement evidence-based plan design to incent members to stay adherent
– EBPD improves adherence most among those with poorest adherence rates
– Compliance based and reduced cost sharing vs free may drive ROI
Best-in-Class clients maximize adherence through a
multi-faceted and comprehensive approach.

In August 2009, they changed to 90-day therapy
• The chart shows the decrease in medication days on hand as the member approaches his or her next refill date

Your data shows that as the percent of 90-day usage increases, adherence increases
Further, mail service and Retail-90 pricing options provide more aggressive financial arrangements

Notes:
1) MPR was calculated from the date of the a patient’s first RX within a maintenance class for the following 180-day period, truncating MPR at 1 for those where the sum of days exceeded 180.
2) 90-day Starts included initiators and those patients who had not received a 90-day RX in the 180 day period preceding their first RX within a maintenance class
3) Maintenance classes were any GPI4 class where 75% or more of the claims were listed as maintenance medications, these classes accounted for 99.1% of all claims designated as maintenance class
4) Results represent the experience from a pilot client’s patients, individual maintenance classes had sample sizes ranging from around ten to 50, with most around 30.

90-Day Mail Pricing Case Study
Client Need
Solution
Results
• 67K-life client wants to maintain mandatory mail savings and increase
member satisfaction
• Client chose 90-day mail pricing mandatory plan design, Maintenance
Choice®
• Members gained access to 90-day mail pricing at CVS/pharmacy
• Members received letters to make transition
• Twelve months post implementation, 84% of eligible maintenance utilization
filled at 90-day mail pricing while improving member satisfaction*
• Adherence increased up to 5%; members that are optimally adherent
increased up to 7%
“Through Maintenance Choice, our members can enjoy the flexibility
of picking up their medications at a local CVS/pharmacy.1”
22
*Based on days supply. Data represents non-specialty maintenance drugs.
The Maintenance Choice program is available to self-funded employer clients that are subject to ERISA. Non-ERISA plans such as insured health plans, plans for city, state or
government employees, and church plans need CVS Caremark Legal's approval prior to offering the Maintenance Choice program.

Engagement Changes Behavior:
Targeted Adherence Outreach
• Challenge
– Close to 70% of plan participants prescribed a chronic maintenance
medication will discontinue taking it within the first year1
• Solution
– Clinical interventions throughout the treatment cycle of participants on
maintenance medications with the right tactics to engage each plan participant
• Welcome letter
• Adherence survey
• IVR and Web: automated refill reminders, renewals, pick-up prompts
• Face-to-face non-adherence counseling at CVS Retail
• Local CVS pharmacist outreach calls to participants identified as
potentially non-adherent
• Personalized therapy drop-off letters to plan participant and provider
Result: 35 percent of plan participants chose to
restart therapy as a result of Adherence Outreach2
