AMCP’s guidance translates CMS’s expectations for patient centered, evidence informed formulary decisions into practical steps payers can act on today without adding unnecessary burden to P&T workflows.
Recommendations for treatment initiation in CLL are stratified by disease stage using either the Rai staging system, which defines disease as low-, intermediate-, or high-risk; or the Binet staging system, which defines disease as stage A, B, or C based on the number of lymphoid areas involved and the presence of anemia or thrombocytopenia. Generally, treatment should be initiated in patients with active or progressive disease who are intermediate- or high-risk, or stage B or C.
AMCP offers a wide variety of educational opportunities, from events and webinars to online training.
