Copay Accumulator

Do you use copay cards to access your clotting factor? What if those cards were used by your insurance company but didn’t go towards your deductible or out-of-pocket max so you end up with a huge bill for your factor? This is called Copay Accumulator Adjustment Programs and they are the latest insurance tactic to control overall healthcare costs and could mean surprise bills for bleeding disorder patients. Our episode is with Kollet Koulianos, senior director of payer relations for The National Hemophilia Foundation, an expert on these programs. Join us as we walk through the mechanics of this issue, hear a patient’s story of dealing with this issue firsthand and how to advocate for yourself if you find yourself in this situation.

Marilyn Manco-Johnson

The concept of gene therapy has been floating around the hemophilia community for decades, but with recent success in clinical trials, we appear to be getting closer to having an FDA approved treatment. In this episode, we focus on understanding terminology and types of gene therapy, potential benefits and pitfalls, and the role of factor in a gene therapy world. Our expert for this month’s episode is Dr. Marilyn Manco-Johnson, Director of the University of Colorado Hemophilia and Thrombosis Center, who helps us get a better understanding of what gene therapy is and where the current technology stands.

Debbie de la Riva

Mental illness in the bleeding disorders community is a challenging topic to discuss, but given that approximately one-third of people with a chronic illness experience symptoms of depression, it’s clearly a topic in need of more attention. This month’s guest is Debbie de le Riva, community advocate and social worker. She joins host Chris Bombardier and guest co-host Patrick James Lynch for an open and honest discussion about depression, mental illness, and suicide prevention in the bleeding disorders community, and the work that she’s doing to make an impact.

Ep. 17: Mental Health - w/ Debbie de la Riva - July 23, 2018

Christie VanHorne

Did you know that women are twice as likely as men to be diagnosed with a mental health condition when presenting cardiovascular symptoms? Or that, on average, it takes women ten years to be diagnosed with endometriosis? On the latest episode of Ask the Expert, we dive into this topic and the long history of women feeling dismissed or ignored when it comes to their health. We are joined by Christie VanHorne, a consultant with CVH Consulting, who has developed training modules to demystify gender bias in healthcare. Christie walks us through the tools of how to identify gender bias, what is best when we relate to doctors and clinical staff when trying to have our voices heard, and most importantly, she reminds us that this is a cultural systemic issue. A great listen for the bleeding disorder community!

Ep. 28: Gender Bias in Healthcare w/  - Christie VanHorne - June 24, 2019

Tammy Davenport

Imagine having all the symptoms, and even the diagnosis of hemophilia, but you constantly hear that it’s impossible for you to have the condition. You undergo surgery without having factor available, suffer from bleeds and are placed in life-threatening situations, despite the fact that your factor levels have consistently shown that you have hemophilia. While this sounds like an outrageous scenario, most women with hemophilia have lived this exact same story. On our “Women with Bleeding Disorders” episode of the Ask the Expert Podcast, we dive into the challenges faced by women living with bleeding disorders and their struggle to receive a proper diagnosis and treatment, with our guest expert Tammy Davenport.

Pat Torrey

“I can’t do that.” “That’s not for me.” “I’m not able to do that.”  Thinking about the outdoors and outdoor activities can be intimidating for people living with a bleeding disorder.  But should they be? Are the outdoors and experiential education in the outdoors really off-limits to people with bleeding disorders? That’s what we’re here discuss with this month’s guest, GutMonkey Founder and CEO, Pat Torrey, on Episode 9 - or, our Outdoor Education Episode - of The Ask The Expert Podcast!

Guy Young

The management of inhibitors continues to be one of the greatest challenges facing researchers, clinicians, and patients with hemophilia. Thankfully we seem to have taken a giant step forward vis-a-vie the introduction of Hemlibra, the first and only subcutaneous treatment option for patients of all ages who have severe hemophilia A and inhibitors. But what exactly is this form of non-factor replacement therapy? How does it work? And what should patients and families impacted by hemophilia and inhibitors be thinking and asking their clinicians about? That’s what we’re here to discuss with this month’s guest, Dr. Guy Young.

Imagine doing your due diligence for an upcoming medical procedure by double checking your facility and providers are in-network with your insurance plan, only to later find out that a provider treating you (e.g., an anesthesiologist or radiologist) does not participate in your health plan’s network after you receive a huge out-of-network bill out of nowhere. This is one example of a healthcare issue known as “surprise billing” and it could cost you and your family thousands of dollars. Ask the Expert joins HFA Director of Policy, Miriam Goldstein, to break the issue down for our understanding and explains potential solutions Washington is debating to fix this issue. Also joining us is HFA Director of Advocacy, Sonji Wilkes, a community member who faced this issue firsthand when her son was born and recently shared her story with Congress. A can’t-miss episode of Ask the Expert for all our rare disease advocates!  Welcome to Episode 32 - or our Surprise Billing 101 Episode - of the Ask The Expert Podcast!    If you receive a bill from an out-of-network provider for planned procedure or have further questions about surprise billing, contact HFA through their website: www.hemophiliafed.org    If you have been experiencing issues with your insurance company, HFA wants to hear your story!  Project CALLS [Creating Alternatives to Limiting and Lacking Services] is an opportunity for you to share your story and help the entire bleeding disorders community. HFA collects stories from across the country, collates the data, identifies trends, and uses the information to help policymakers and providers better understand and meet the needs of our community.   Participate here:  https://www.hemophiliafed.org/for-patient-families/navigate-insurance/project-calls/    “Surprise medical bills can arise in an emergency when the patient has no ability to select the emergency room, treating physicians, or ambulance providers.” - Miriam Goldstein, HFA Director of Policy   “Unexpected medical bills, including surprise medical bills, lead the list of expenses most Americans worry they would not be able to afford.” -Miriam Goldstein, HFA Director of Policy   “Don’t be discouraged, patients will always have the louder voice. Our job is to tell decision makers, this issue matters to me. It’s up to us.” - Sonji Wilkes, HFA Director of Advocacy
