Listen "Episode 3: Patient Support Showdown –– HUBs, Copays, and Frictionless Starts"
Episode Synopsis
Patient Support Showdown — HUBs, Copays, and Frictionless StartsEpisode 3 zeroes in on the first-fill moment and early adherence—where HUB design, copay policy, and specialty-pharmacy handoffs can make or break momentum. We unpack the essentials of high-performing programs (benefits investigation, real-time PA tracking, FRM support, nurse case management, and digital enrollment) and spotlight where patients and offices most often stall. You’ll hear how leading severe-asthma brands approach onboarding today, what providers say about enrollment friction, and why time to first dose—often 10–18 days—has become the metric that moves share. We also explore practical ways Lumara could streamline starts without adding risk: single-page digital enrollment, transparent SP assignment, tiered concierge options, and embedded TTFD benchmarks.What you’ll learnHow HUB, copay, and SP integration shape initiation and persistenceThe top delay drivers—and how to design them out of the workflowWhere FRMs and nurse case managers deliver outsized impactPractical guardrails: compliance, inducement risk, and data stewardshipFeatured segmentsFrictionless Starts: Designing the HUB That WorksWhere Patients Get Lost—and How to Catch ThemPlaybook in Practice: KPIs, TTFD, and Office Experience
