Meeting Objectives:

    • Identify common breakdowns in bridge program execution, including E1 transaction errors, MBI/Medicare card verification, and misuse of SSN-based inputs, and outline workflow practices used by high-performing pharmacies to avoid them.  
    • Examine the patient journey following a bridge denial, including self-pay uptake, abandonment risk, and potential alternative coverage or indication pathways.  
    • Discuss real-world considerations in anti-obesity therapy selection and continuity, including formulary re-entry, dose-related efficacy distinctions, and pharmacist-observed patterns in tolerability and treatment persistence.
