I wonder if Al dropped a bag of cash at the SEIU Union head office to get it on the preferred list. You know how those union guys operate..... But good news none the less.

Wait a minute. I thought that Sanofi was doing a terrible job with Afrezza. How did they get preferred status here? Actually, this is what Sanofi is doing all over the country. The slow launch has allowed them to get insurance coverage where they need it to be for a larger launch.

Thanks for sharing this with everyone tchalaa. Just an observation, toujeo also needs PA in this case. What this demonstrates is the medical communities conservatism to new drugs, and/or the price sensitivity inherent in insurance/Medicaid programs. This is definitely a long term investment.

Also, please note that the Ohio Medicaid PDL is a draft document. I'm not sure when the meeting is scheduled, but sending a few emails with some anecdotal evidence to Ohio might lead to somebody on the committee taking a closer look at Afrezza rather than the typical rubber stamp.
