The Centre for Biosimilars reported a poster presented at AMCP 2021 shows a New York state Medicaid biosimilar preference initiative was successful in increasing biosimilar use in 2019. Biosimilar substitution is not permitted at the pharmacy level in New York, and provider prescriptions are required. The switching program was supported by months of biosimilar promotion and education among plan beneficiaries who were receiving originator biologics.
