Healthcare Reform

There are more than 45 million individuals in the United States that lack health insurance. Many states are discussing healthcare reform to address the problem of the uninsured in their state. PPTA will actively participate in these discussions to ensure that the unique health care needs of plasma protein therapies consumers are addressed.


Payer Cost Containment Strategies

PPTA remains committed to preventing cost containment measures from impacting patient access to life-saving therapies. Payers frequently use cost containment measures to reduce the impact of rising health care costs. Common strategies include reducing pharmacy reimbursement, requiring patient cost-sharing, and single source provider agreements.
