What is the monthly cost of LCZ going to be?
All I know is if we don't price it right we are screwed. I'm talking like 80 a month. Top card told me if it's 3 figures he won't write one script and will switch everyone if it's less than 100.
WAC pricing is $249 a month.
Fuck they can't get anything right. We are talking to customers about sll the comorbidities HF patients have in our stupid details, but "hey doc, I know they are sick and on a Ton of Meds but I need you to Rx a $200 over generic lisinopril. You might be able to add a year or so to their life bc that's that our controlled novartis sponsored study says in a perfect world. But they won't be able to enjoy those extra years because they will be paying and extra 2500 plus a year for their HF med. and hell doc, the stress of figuring out where they'll come up with that cash will kill em before the hf. Bahahahahaha. But, I digress. Doc, we want to make patients lives better. And here are some starter kits and coupons that won't work depending on the pharmacy. And you'll have to switch them back to lisinopril anyway when the starter kit ends but I guarantee you'll see such a difference that they'll pay the 200 bucks!". God no wonder ethical moral docs who aren't bought and sold by pharma companies see us as money hungry idiot jerks.WAC pricing is $249 a month.

I was using lisinopril just to make a point and I agree with everything say. Docs have already brought it up in my area without me sayings word because they are smarter than novartis gives them credit for and they research. I couldn't say a word except the company line about we are committed to cv research and the doc said well just sit back and listen to what I'm going to tell you. He said if the drug is priced over 100 he will not give one single script. And sd if it's priced under $100 then he does blanket switch. And this is probably most ethical and well thought if card in the area. Novartis needs to listen to these guys.Why do you even say lisinopril you can get generic valsartan & a 2 cent diuretic & you have half of LCZ & HCTZ will probably work better the the NI , throw in a BB & you'll probably have far Superior outcomes for 30% or less of the cost
While Packer siphons off another mil from the swiss cheese heads working some new farce of a trial
The only thing you will probably discover about cost is the correlation of the inevitably paid shill mouthpieces of NVS & their RX of this dubious diovan combo Vs the rest of healthcare professionals that actually use common sense & sound medical judgement for their patients including their financial well being while achieving superior outcomes with a plethora of generic alternatives.

Specialist in my area said same thing this week. They know more than we think. Price is going to be the major factor.
This is all on deaf ears. They aren't going to lower the price of this product because they see it as revolutionary and the savior of the company.
