Biosimilars offer safe, effective, and more affordable alternatives to patients who use biologic medications for managing chronic conditions. To date, biosimilars have not necessarily achieved the expected goals of allowing patients to have access to more affordable biologic medications. This session will enable participates to hear the patient perspective on biosimilars and recommendations for overcoming current challenges and barriers. Issues considered will include potential cost savings of biosimilars to patients and the health care system, the implications of how access to biosimilars may improve adherence to biologics, and ways that savings from biosimilars may improve patient care through better access to services and patient support.

Learning Objective : At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:
Describe the current environment in the United States related to patient access to biosimilars
Identify challenges in patient access to biosimilars including regulatory issues, payment issues, and education
Describe 1-2 ways that current challenges may be improved
