West Virginia PEIA: Health is what makes progress possible
Nice to e-meet you
Our team looks forward to getting to know you and the challenges and opportunities you face in serving the West Virginia population.
The high cost of a mental health crisis
Amidst COVID-19, all of us are being tested in ways we never have been – both physically and mentally. One in five U.S. adults lives with a mental health condition each year.1 It’s a prominent issue that everyone is thinking about – but no one is talking about.
Estimated annual spending in the U.S. due to mental health conditions2
Missed work days per year in the U.S. due to mental health conditions3
Higher cost for patients with both a mental health condition and a chronic disease (than patients only with a chronic disease)4
Managing prescription drug abuse to protect patients
Americans are now more likely to die of an accidental opioid overdose than in a motor vehicle crash. How can you make sure your members are protected? Our nationally recognized Advanced Opioid Management program gives employers new tools to help prevent abuse and guide workforce members in need through a successful recovery.
How can you manage specialty trend against continually increasing drug prices?
While specialty medications account for a small percentage of utilization in your population, they drive more than half of prescription drug cost, creating a heavy burden for the plan, as well as your members. Luckily, there are copay assistance programs available for many specialty prescription drugs. SaveonSP, our copay offset savings program, works in alignment with the Affordable Care Act to reclassify some drugs as non-essential health benefits, which allows for the maximum rate of copay assistance, reducing patient copays to $0, and driving significant plan savings.

Caring for your specialty patients
Health care needs are as individualized as the members who make up your population. For those with complex conditions, we believe the best care comes from specialists – not generalists – and our model includes individual centers of focused expertise dedicated to serving them, called Therapeutic Resource Centers (TRCs). Hear from a caregiver of an Accredo patient about her experience working with our Rare Disease TRC to care for her daughter.

Simplifying specialty for physicians
Ensuring physicians’ access to information they need for their patients’ specialty medication prescriptions is always of utmost importance, but in the face of a global pandemic, providing the tools and support they need is even more crucial. Learn how MyAccredoPatients.com is simplifying the patient experience.
Optimizing members' experience
Member experience when filling and refilling prescriptions plays an important role in access to medications and adherence. Express Scripts members have a first-class app to help them manage their health anywhere, anytime.
Using data to understand social determinants of health
Understanding the social barriers that affect a patient's ability to afford, access and effectively self-administer medication is essential to achieving proper medications utilization, which enables positive patient outcomes.
