Have you been part of any expensive treatments for orphan diseases going generic?
- Were any of those drugs distributed through a closed system/hub model?

Added By: sara_adminHow important are physicians in converting patients to the generic drug?
Added By: sara_adminAre there essential services the Hub provides to patients that must be replicated by the generic company?
Added By: sara_adminAre generic companies like TEVA skilled at disrupting this type of market?
Added By: sara_adminDoes this type of model limit the impact of multi source generics in the future, because those companies would also need to provide patient support services?
Added By: sara_adminDoes the distribution system and hub provide significant value to the payor and patient outside of co-pay assistance?
Added By: sara_adminDo payors think about the genericization drugs that have 1,500-5,000 patients in the entire US or is it such small $ that the few patients on the branded drug a given plan might have is irrelevant? Has this changed as more orphan diseases get expensive treatments approved.
