SAN FRANCISCO – World Class Health, a specialty care Centers of Excellence platform for self-insured employers, health plans and third-party administrators (TPAs), has expanded into specialty infusion, where it says site of care drives most costs. "Specialty infusion is one of the many health care purchases where members are flying blind on both their options and their cost," said Sid Nambiar, CEO of World Class Health. "A member who needs an infusion calls our team, gets the same treatment at home on their own schedule, and pays nothing, while their employer pays a fraction of the hospital price." According to World Class Health, specialty drugs account for roughly half of all pharmacy spend while being used by about 2% of patients, and gross specialty costs per member are projected to rise another 32% by 2028. The company says the same drug can cost several times more in a hospital outpatient suite than in a member's home, at an identical standard of care. WCH’s approach: The company’s care team identifies eligible members from claims and prior authorization data, confirms each member's out-of-pocket cost before treatment is scheduled and transitions care to a clinically appropriate home or suite setting. Its network delivers home infusion in all 50 states and includes hundreds of infusion suites for members whose therapy or preference calls for a facility.
