I think this thread has gotten way off topic and probably time to lock it. Moderators? Why close the thread? There is no reason to. |

There's no way to have a 30 second Afrezza commercial. The black box warnings would take up almost all of the time. I’d say that the majority of folks I personally know do not have cable. They have Netflix, Amazon Prime, those sort of things. I believe people are moving away from cable, and towards subscription based services (I could be wrong just my belief). I personally believe commercials are a waste of money. |

TV Commercials are still effective. If they weren't Lily, NOVO, Dexcom, Abbott and all drug makers would not be airing commercials. The pillow guy sold $$$Milions in over priced pillows airing his commercials on places like Fox news until he was cancelled. Fox averages about 2.5M daily viewers. Add in CNN and MSNBC and thats about 5M daily viewers. The 30 second commercial only works if its seen over and over with a simple message that A1c is so yesterday and that the best way to get control of blood sugar is by stopping the post meal spike with afrezza. Put a warning message at the bottom of the screen with a QR code which points to all the things like the black box and that insulin can cause hypoglycemia and the 30 other things the FDA will want. However this only works if its hand in hand with the Seeing is Believing campaign targeting the GPs. For that I really think Mike needs to make up his own T2 SoC on a simple card like Perdue did. Heck, since Dave Kendall was not able to change the ADA SoC, Mike should set him up as the president of a new Diabetes association which Mike invents and have this new association endorse Mike's new SoC card. |

The FDA would never allow replacing drug warnings with QR codes. If it would, the BP ad agencies would be doing it already. Most people, especially seniors, don't know how to use QR codes.

I would suggest it be named: World Diabetes Association |

Type two, the sky is the limit. Continuing Glucose monitors now covered by insurance, the quantity of commercials went up. There again, a captive audience needs to qualify. |

I liked the flying hamburgers. Afrezza needs health insurance is all. Even Stevil told us part of his physicians training is don't fight insurance coverage.If he orders something that isn't covered by insurance, the pharmacy calls him to change the order. Cretin you seem to be a troll. Not exactly. I do fill out PAs from time to time if I think the patient really needs the medication and I'm sure I can convince the insurance company that they do. Sometimes insurance companies just put a PA barrier on medications because they know it will be enough to deter us from prescribing. Other times, they make the barrier a mountain and require a ton of extra documentation and sometimes testing to justify our decisions as well as "step-therapy" where you have to try and fail x, y, and z before they'll cover A. It's just a game they play and we're subject to it. It doesn't improve healthcare at all. I'd actually contend the opposite. There are some docs that need leashes because they'll prescribe the latest and greatest to keep the drug reps bringing them great lunches and dinners but most of the time it just increases workload and burden which leads to burnout- all for the sake of saving a few dollars. These PAs can sometimes take 15 min each to complete and we do not get reimbursed for them. This is on top of all of the other work we're already doing. As you can see, the time adds up quickly and it is completely unrealistic to do this for even 2 patients a day as this would cause an extra half hour of unpaid work every day. And that's only for the chance insurance will approve. I believe Mike said only 70% of the PAs get approved, so for every 3 PAs you submit for Afrezza, you're wasting your time on 1 of them. That's going to put you off from trying unless it's really a "must have" situation. Fewer true videos than these. Tragic, really. Hopefully doctors will be the ones making decisions for their patients in the future once this system collapses. One can only hope. www.youtube.com/shorts/ayyafnuQ5m4www.youtube.com/shorts/FVAFfd3oCgANot saying one is right, but doesn't that strike you as ironic? Both are trying to save a few dollars... |
