Insurance for long acting injectable antivirals

  • 1.  Insurance for long acting injectable antivirals

    Posted 2 hours ago
    I have an independent private practice. We have an employee who wrangles our long acting antivirals - prior auth, scheduling, inventory, etc. We don't do buy and bill but the medicines are shipped to us for administration in our clinic. We have a lot of patients on these meds. At any one time we have about a two week supply on hand. Today our employee did an inventory of our Cabenuva, Apretude, and Yeztugo in stock and calculated the value at approximately $350,000. He suggested we should do something to insure this stock in case of theft, fire, power outage, etc. I'd appreciate if anyone has addressed this type of situation and how easy/hard was it to get coverage for this valuable stock of product. We already have insurance for theft but I suspect our insurance company would try to get out of paying if (for example) our refrigerator failed and all the Cabenuva spoiled. Pharmacies must have this type of insurance so input from pharmacists might be especially valuable.
