Goal of Presentation This session's goal is to provide an understanding of the current biotechnology marketplace and pipeline, its impact on community pharmacy, and how community pharmacy can prepare itself to be a major provider of specialty pharmaceuticals and biotechnology drugs. 4
Overview Definition of biotech and specialty products Biotech Market and Relationship to Specialty Specialty Pharmacy Overview How does community pharmacy get involved 5
What Is Biotechnology? Break biotechnology into its root words and you have bio the use of biological processes; and technology to solve problems or make useful products. From Bio.Org 6
Definition of Specialty Pharmaceuticals Specialty pharmaceuticals are defined as high-cost injectables, infused, oral or inhaled drugs generally requiring close supervision and monitoring of the patient s drug therapy. 7
Why Specialty Pharmaceuticals are Different Frequent dosage adjustments Dosage administration of injectables and infusables (Nursing care) More severe side effects than traditional drugs Special storage, handling and/or administration Narrow therapeutic range Complex Reimbursement Support Periodic laboratory or diagnostic testing Higher costs than traditional products ($10,000-$100,000 annually) Target small numbers of patients (5,000-100,000) Patient registration Patient training and Clinical call center Compliance management Clinical data reporting and analysis 8 Source: SPN Oct, 2005

18 Future issues 1. Bio-pharmaceuticals and emerging targeted therapies will increasingly require customized supply chains 2. Traditional full service, broad distribution is not well suited for products with complex handling requirements or very limited end points 3. Payer relationships will become a significant success driver for everyone involved in specialty pharmacy care. 4. As branded pharma becomes increasingly reliant on Specialty and Biotech their relationship with providers will change significantly Retail and mail are at risk in becoming less important to branded manufacturers Manufacturers will increasingly focus their sales efforts on specialty providers 3
So the Time is NOW How? Steps to Implementation 19
Characteristics of Specialty Products Frequent dosage adjustments More severe side effects than traditional drugs Special storage, handling and/or administration Narrow therapeutic range Periodic laboratory or diagnostic testing Higher costs than traditional products 20
21 Specialty High level of patient training and enlightenment regarding usage and proper handling High and continued patient interactions beyond the initial dispensing process Drug therapy may result in a higher frequency of side effects and are potentially more severe Dosage administration, side effects, storage condition and other factors may require altering daily patterns Patient non-compliance has potential for significant impact on expected improvements from therapy and can increase related costs. Rigorous patient education is required often provided by nursing or pharmacist staff together with monitoring to assure optimal outcomes Traditional Little patient training and enlightenment regarding usage and proper handling other than traditional counseling. Generally a one time patient counseling session on first fill and availability to respond to questions as needed Potential drug therapy side effects are less frequent and not as potentially debilitating Drug therapy generally does not require alteration to patients daily patterns Lack of patient compliance may have modest impact and likely be a progressive rather than immediate negative process. Patient compliance education is generally limited to counseling and labeling of the product.
Key Success Factors for Community Pharmacy The opportunity to be reimbursed using pharmacy adjudication. Aggregated contracting. Capturing of key revenue streams. Location, location, location. The opportunity to get reimbursed for ancillary support services. 22
Why Time is Now for Community Pharmacy in Specialty Focus on professional services and patient services Having a local relationship with patient and physician community Key relationships with the manufacturer for purchasing power Reporting capability by capturing data currently lost within medical benefit Potential tie in of financial management services 23
Step One Develop a Marketing Plan: Questions What are the marketing opportunities/objectives of entering into specialty? What customers/patients want from our specialty service? Who will benefit from our specialty service? What do we want to accomplish through specialty marketing efforts? How will the service be perceived by the marketplace? How do we compete with the existing players? SWOT Analysis 24
Step Two Pick the Model That Works Distribution Option Description of Services Low Cost, Complexity, Channel Conflict High 1. Direct to Physician 1 2 2. Basic Specialty Pharmacy 1 2 3 3. Limited Specialty Pharmacy plus Specialty Retail Network 1 2 3 4. Broad Specialty Pharmacy plus Specialty Retail Network 1 2 3 5. Plus Infusion Services 4 4 5 6 6 Required Reimbursement and Patient Registry capabilities to compete for basic specialty distribution deals. Required Specialty Pharmacy services to provide direct-to-patient distribution in support of retail, mail order and managed care business. Required administrative services and PBM marketing capabilities required to create a network offering for retail chain. Position to compete aggressively for specialty pharmacy business in addition to enabling retail network. Most comprehensive offering including full service SPRx and extension to infusion services. 1 2 3 5 6 7 1 = Reimbursement Support 2 = Patient Registry 4 = Limited Specialty Pharmacy 5 = Broad Specialty Pharmacy 7 = Infusion Services 25 3 = Clinical Services 6 = Retail Network Hub 12

Step Four Provide Disease State Management Use treatment guidelines Therapeutic interchange Formulary management Coordination of physician and support providers Patient education and support Outcomes measurements Routine reporting and feedback Self-administration oversight Clinical assessment Patient monitoring Side-effect management Drug utilization evaluation and poly-pharmacy review Care coordination with other healthcare providers Psychosocial support Community resources 27
Step Five Provider Dynamics The Payer ultimately determines how and where the specialty patient will be managed Manufacturers influence is very high when they have a novel therapy The ability to demonstrate the delivery of a superior outcome at low cost is the providers best leverage Vertical integration by the PBM s has created a new threat and opportunities for other providers A fragmented, healthy market will provide the best opportunities for Retail Large centralized specialty pharmacy providers will purchase high volume items direct and will need minimal services Community Pharmacy currently enjoys a significant portion of the specialty pharmaceutical volume Strong in less complex disease states in specific local markets 28
Step Six Creating Manufacturer Value Specialty distribution Specialty pharmacy Reimbursement assistance Hotline Assistance Patient Registry Programs Patient Assistance programs 29

Parting Thoughts Community Pharmacy Challenges v. Opportunities Vertically integrated PBM s and payers inhouse Specialty Pharmacies will dominate Margins may significantly compress as large players compete for the small number of patients Winners will focus on capabilities and services that deliver superior outcomes at low cost to patients Significant long term risk in the market as specialty pharmacy is ultimately all about the number of patients being serviced Profitable growth will depend upon winning new products & services 31
Parting Thoughts Community Pharmacy Challenges v. Opportunities Reimbursement shifts (ASP/AMP) negatively impact pharmacy services Entering the right segments and excellent reimbursement capabilities are essential Regulators and payers will not support the projected growth rates long term. Will 2-3% of the population drive 30-50% of the drug spend. Long term top line risk If growth is artificially constrained profitability could be severely impacted Long-term growth will be contingent upon cost effectiveness of new therapies 32
Parting Thoughts Community Pharmacy Challenges v. Opportunities Community pharmacy s most profitable customers are at risk of being locked out of the highest growth segment The narrow specialty supply chain will invite new entrants (UPS, FedEx, etc) A major near and long term risk for the retail independent and regional chain segments Moving the game from pure logistics to logistics with clinical services, quality and efficiency will reduce the opportunity for new entrants 33
Parting Thoughts Community Pharmacy Challenges v. Opportunities Community Pharmacy is too late to the market to become a major provider Recent consolidation by the PBM s has created an opportunity for new models in specialty Strategic opportunity to create new models that are difficult for existing players to adopt 34
