The partnership will address the financial barriers that many patients face when requiring medications given through infusions, which can cost from $10,000 to $500,000 per year.

Annexus Health’s technology-driven solutions will help infusion centres and healthcare providers assess patients for financial assistance and other crucial resources, making prescribed treatments more accessible and affordable.

Its network includes over 100 provider organisations, with 3,000 sites of care, and its AssistPoint platform comprises more than 8,000 assistance opportunities for various diseases.

The NICA supports and advances the provision of provider-administered medications in non-hospital, community-based care settings, and it focuses on overcoming challenges to sustain affordable care delivery.

NICA president and CEO Brian Nyquist said: “Our strategic partners have demonstrated their commitment to infusion providers and the industry as a whole by supporting NICA’s mission to improve access to affordable, quality care for the over three million Americans annually who depend on provider-administered therapies.

“We appreciate the dedication of partners like Annexus Health and their commitment to offering innovative products and services to infusion providers so they may better serve their patients.

“Until affordability is no longer a leading barrier to provider-administered medications, patients will continue to rely on access to financial assistance programmes.

“NICA’s partnership with Annexus Health will make it easier for providers and patients to connect with these needed programmes.”
