When Covid-19 restrictions kept the Dragon’s Den-inspired competition from taking place in person, Saint John Regional Hospital Foundation partnered with Hemmings House Pictures to let the show go on.
This year, the hospital foundation’s medical research competition, aka Lion’s Den, is coming back in the form of a film. The movie will focus on the behind-the-scenes journey of three teams of medical professionals competing to win half a million-dollar prize to fund their project.
“By capturing that on film, [the foundation] could really explain to a wider audience the importance of philanthropy and really the power that the passion physicians can have long-term in healthcare in this province,” said Shannon Hunter, director of marketing and communications.
In Western Canada, specialty drugs’ share of private plans’ costs is
23%, due to pharmacare programs in three provinces automatically acting as first payer for prescription drugs after an income-based out of-pocket deductible, climbing to
38% in Atlantic Canada.
As much as
60% of the current pipeline is focused on specialty medications, according to a 2020 report from Express Scripts Canada, with about
50% of drugs in the pipeline designed for oral administration, continuing a shift in costs from provincial to private plans.
This framework is two-tiered, as a Green Shield Canada report notes each insurer places eligible high-cost drug claims from their fully-insured plans into their proprietary extended health-policy protection plan pools. The pooling threshold, typically upwards of $10,000, is negotiated between plan sponsor and carrier.
