@sueinmn Would there be consideration for prevention - for the long term advantages of a drug like Brinsupri that reduces inflammation for those with worsening or more severe BE disease, and would presumably reduce risk of hospitalization or more urgent intensive care and other costly antibiotics for patients in the future?

Drug costs are high. It’s a bit shocking to hear the cost of a drug plan in the United States though, relative to other westernized countries.

@jnmy I can't say with regard too how Brinsupri will be handled long term. I can tell you that both my insurance company and my daughter's have pushed back against preventative therapy with certain meds. In my case, the doctor convinced them to change. In my daughter's case, her company would not budge and she is paying out-of-pocket using her HSA dollars.
