私人醫療計劃必須覆蓋Biogen的ALS藥物!




美國機構指私人醫療計劃必須涵蓋Biogen的ALS藥物

(路透社)- 美國醫療保險和醫療補助服務中心(CMS)已指示提供醫療優勢計劃的私人保險公司,必須涵蓋Biogen(NASDAQ:BIIB)針對肌萎縮側索硬化症(ALS)的藥物Qalsody,因為該機構發現有多個保險計劃拒絕該藥物的覆蓋。

Qalsody去年獲得美國食品藥品監督管理局(FDA)的快速批准,但CMS表示,許多醫療優勢計劃針對65歲及以上的成人或殘疾人士,卻以「實驗性和調查性」的理由拒絕覆蓋該藥物。

FDA的快速批准途徑允許對治療嚴重病症的藥物進行更早的批准。公司仍需進行確認性試驗,以證明該藥物確實提供臨床益處,隨後FDA會授予該藥物傳統批准。

CMS在12月9日的備忘錄中表示,該機構不會區分在FDA快速批准下上市的藥物與傳統批准的藥物,並指示保險公司立即停止拒絕該藥物覆蓋的政策。

該機構表示,預期保險公司會聯繫那些不當被拒絕該藥物覆蓋的病人,通知他們政策已經改變。

作為病人倡導組織的ALS協會週三晚間表示,已開始與CMS合作調查保險公司對該藥物「不公正的拒絕」情況,這些公司將該藥物標記為「實驗性」。

該協會呼籲曾被醫療優勢計劃拒絕Qalsody的患者,聯繫他們的ALS專家以確保能獲得治療。

這項政策的變更對於ALS患者而言是個重要的里程碑,因為這類疾病的治療選擇相對有限。CMS的指示不僅強調了對患者的保障,也反映了醫療保險系統在面對新藥物時的挑戰。許多藥物在獲得FDA快速批准後,仍需經過長時間的確認試驗,這使得保險公司對其覆蓋持謹慎態度。然而,這樣的保險拒絕會對患者造成極大的困擾,尤其是在他們急需治療的情況下。

此外,這也引發了對醫療保險公司在定義「實驗性」藥物時標準不一的質疑。保險公司是否應該根據FDA的批准來決定覆蓋與否,還是應該根據自身的評估標準?這個問題值得進一步探討。患者在尋求醫療支持時,應當獲得公平的待遇,這是醫療體系應該努力達成的目標。

📍 Setting & Environment
• Location: An indoor setting resembling a classic American diner or café with a retro ambiance.
• Background: The background is slightly blurred (shallow depth of field), featuring deep red booth seating and white/grey counter areas and subtle gold/brass accents. Other patrons are indistinctly visible in the background.
• Foreground: The woman is seated at a table or counter, leaning slightly forward with her chin resting on her hand. A white coffee cup and saucer is visible in the lower left corner.

• Art Style: Hyper-realistic, high-resolution digital painting or photography, with sharp focus on the woman.
• Composition: Close-up to mid-torso portrait shot. Create a photorealistic image of uploaded photo sitting at a relaxed outdoor restaurant in London on a cool Wednesday morning in March 2026. The sky is clear, the spring air is crisp, and the city feels calm as it wakes up. She is the focal point of the shot—wearing a light scarf, gently stirring her tea while gazing off to the side with a thoughtful expression. Everything behind her, from the waiter moving about to the soft morning traffic, should fall into a smooth blur, giving the picture the effortless, candid atmosphere of a moment casually snapped on a phone. The person from the reference photo ( keep the face of the person 100% accurate from the reference image ) relaxing on a fluffy, glowing cloud high above the sky, surrounded by soft golden sunlight and vast layers of clouds stretching to the horizon. the person is lying back comfortably with a pillow, wearing a dark long-sleeve shirt, olive green pants, holding a book in one hand and a coffee cup in the other. the lighting is cinematic and warm, capturing the golden hour ambiance with radiant highlights and gentle shadows across the clouds. captured with a wide-angle lens at medium depth of field, balancing focus between the subject and the surrounding dreamy sky. the overall atmosphere is surreal and serene, blending realism with fantasy in a peaceful, imaginative setting.
