The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs

Tuesday, September 21, 2021

Dear John,

An article and several letters in the September issue discuss
pharmaceuticals and technology.

Pharmaceuticals & Technology

In a new article, James Robinson and colleagues analyzed prices

paid for cancer drugs by Blue Cross Blue Shield plans in hospital
outpatient departments and freestanding physician offices in 2019.

They concluded that

**"plans paid 50-90 percent more in hospital outpatient departments
than in freestanding physician offices for most of the drugs."**

Also in pharmaceuticals and technology, letters to the editor in the
September issue discussed past papers about diagnostic imaging and
biosimilars.

William Mehan and colleagues argued that Gary Young and colleagues'
conclusions

about inappropriate diagnostic imaging, published in May 2021, should be
viewed with caution

due to methodological limitations. Gary Young and coauthors responded
,
addressing several critiques.

Bruce Feinberg and colleagues wrote a letter in response to Ariel Stern
and colleagues' June 2021 study on biosimilars
,
advocating that further analyses by product

would strengthen their findings. Ariel Stern and Mark Trusheim replied
,
providing additional ideas for future research.

Today on Health Affairs Blog, Sabrina Corlette and coauthors discuss how
states can step in to ensure that every hospital discloses the pricing
data

now required by law.

Katie Keith discusses new data from HHS and CMS showing record-high
effectuated enrollment

through Marketplace coverage under the ACA.

Elevating Voices: Hispanic Heritage Month: In the July 2021 issue,
Borders, Immigrants, and Health, Alexandra Rivera-González and
coauthors found that Latino immigrants in Puerto Rico

experience major health insurance coverage inequities.
