A newer technology that\u2019s changing the product landscape is the long-acting injectable. Drugs like ProHeart, Cytopoint, Adequan and others offer several advantages over oral take-home medications. Chief among the advantages? Client compliance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo me, that\u2019s the greatest benefit of using injectable medications,\u201d said Joy Fuhrman, DVM, MBA, CPA, a partner with Harmony Veterinary Clinic in Prescott, Arizona. \u201cFor example, clients forget to give monthly <a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarybusiness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/04\/TVET-2017-0506_Handout_Heartworm-Dogs.pdf\">heartworm preventive<\/a> \u2014 I sometimes forget in my own dogs. So using a six- or 12-month injectable is very effective for compliance. The same is true for a kitty with a UTI when you give Convenia as opposed to oral antibiotics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Injectable medications carry another advantage in that they keep revenue in the practice as opposed to sending the client home with a prescription to be filled online or at a retail pharmacy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a lot more pressure these days from online pharmacies and consumers alike to script out medications,\u201d Dr. Fuhrman said. \u201cSo, it does keep revenue in the practice. That being said, it\u2019s not always the most cost-efficient option for the client.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Cost vs. Convenience<\/h3>\n<p>Dr. Fuhrman likes to offer her clients oral and injectable options and explain the convenience of having an injection given in-clinic versus the cost savings of an oral drug.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn my experience, most clients will almost always opt for a more convenient option,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the decision sometimes comes down to what the pet will tolerate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not so difficult with a heartworm chewable, but if you have a cat that hates taking medication, is difficult to pill or is otherwise fractious, then injectables can be your only option,\u201d Dr. Fuhrman said. \u201cI take all those factors into consideration when making a recommendation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Besides convenience and patient tolerance, many clients like the comfort level that comes with leaving the treatment in the veterinarian\u2019s hands and not having to worry about it. With a pill, Dr. Fuhrman said, clients often have to wonder: \u201cIs the medication getting in? Is it not getting in? Are they going to spit half of it out? Are they going to vomit?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn injectable ensures that the patient is getting the appropriate dose of the medication,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>However, if a client is particularly price-sensitive, an oral medication might be the best way to go, and that\u2019s fine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s important to be clear that both would be equally effective,\u201d Dr. Fuhrman said. \u201cThey\u2019re not jeopardizing the patient\u2019s health by choosing one option over the other. We need to make sure they feel comfortable if they choose the less costly option.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Communicating All Options<\/h3>\n<p>Client discussions all come down to transparency, Dr. Fuhrman said. When faced with a situation where an injectable and an oral are options, she suggests saying something like this: \u201cWe have two options: We can give an injection today, which does cost a little bit more, but you won\u2019t have to worry about administering the medication on time twice a day every day for a week or be concerned about your pet spitting it out or not getting the dose it needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clients can make the decision, Dr. Fuhrman said, \u201cif you\u2019re frank and upfront about laying out the options and the associated costs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s important in multidoctor practices is to establish a protocol for injectable products so that a client seen by one doctor will get the same treatment with another, Dr. Fuhrman said. And when products are administered recurringly, such as with Cytopoint, will a technician or doctor give the injection and will a recheck exam be conducted during the visit?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose are all factors to consider from a medical protocol standpoint and a pricing standpoint,\u201d Dr. Fuhrman said.<\/p>\n<p>Wendy Hauser, DVM, of Peak Veterinary Consulting in Parker, Colorado, agreed that a standardized approach to injectable products is important.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s incumbent on hospital leadership and the doctor team to agree on what products are going to be offered, how they\u2019re offered and maybe even when they\u2019re offered,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Once the doctors are in agreement, the next step is to educate veterinary technicians and other staff members.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe team needs to understand the why behind it; they have to understand what type of a client this would work for,\u201d Dr. Hauser said. \u201cEverybody should be on board.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Asking the Right Questions<\/h3>\n<p>One way the veterinary team can identify whether a client is a good candidate for an injectable like ProHeart, for example, is to ask a question like this: \u201cSo tell me, Ms. Client, what day do you give Buddy\u2019s heartworm prevention?\u201d Dr. Hauser said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you get a blank stare, they\u2019re not giving it,\u201d she said. \u201cThe technician could also say, \u2018It looks like you picked up 12 doses of heartworm prevention last year, so you should be ready for a refill.\u2019 If they respond with, \u2018No, I have six months left,\u2019 the technician can say, \u2018Wow, it sounds like life is busy for you! I\u2019ll ask Dr. Hauser to tell you about another option that might make things easier and ensure Buddy is getting the protection he needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Hauser also noted that having clients come in for regular injections of products like <a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/the-therapeutic-power-of-monoclonal-antibody-therapy\/\">Cytopoint<\/a> or Adequan gives the practitioner another touch point with the client and a chance to check the patient\u2019s progress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCytopoint is a monoclonal antibody that blocks the itch reflex,\u201d she said. \u201cBut if there\u2019s a secondary infection, it\u2019s not going to address that. We want to do what\u2019s right for our patients, so we need to have a recheck exam when we give that next shot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If an in-person follow-up isn\u2019t practical, the opportunity might be perfect for <a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarybusiness.com\/resources\/virtual-care\/\">telemedicine<\/a>, Dr. Hauser said.<\/p>\n<p>Injectable medications represent a major step forward for veterinary practices that want to offer convenience and drive compliance (or as Dr. Hauser prefers to say, \u201cadherence.\u201d) By providing in-clinic treatment and getting pets to return for subsequent injections, injectables improve pet health, client satisfaction and practice revenue.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #008000\">HOW TO PRICE INJECTABLE DRUGS<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A client bringing her pet to a veterinary clinic for an injection of Cytopoint or Convenia is not going to shop the internet for the best price, Dr. Joy Fuhrman said. That means markups on injectables tend to be significantly higher than on prescription medications. And that\u2019s how it should be if you\u2019re smart about it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have your or\u00a0your technician\u2019s time to\u00a0administer the injection, the knowledge it takes to know how and where to administer the injection, and of course, the medical supplies you use in addition to the drug itself,\u201d she said. \u201cAll those things need to be accounted for in the cost.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some clinics create package deals in which a client pays a fixed price for\u00a0six injections of, for example, Cytopoint.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they\u2019re administered once a month or every six weeks or whatever works best for the pet, clients might pay a bulk price that is equal to if not slightly lower than the individual cost,\u201d Dr. Fuhrman said. \u201cThere\u2019s also the option of spreading those out as a monthly charge to your clients to make it more cash-flow-friendly. That\u2019s a great way to also gain client compliance because if they\u2019re being charged for it, they are going to come in every month for the injection.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Fuhrman noted that the fee for any injection given in the clinic needs to capture all auxiliary charges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou calculate what would be a reasonable injection fee and apply that to any and all injections that you administer in your practice,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Most practice management systems allow injection fees to be incorporated into the product price.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #008000\">ADHERENCE VS. COMPLIANCE<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Dr. Wendy Hauser wants the veterinary profession to replace the word \u201ccompliance\u201d with \u201cadherence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn human medicine, the preferred term is \u2018adherence\u2019 because it conveys partnership,\u201d she said. \u201cIt means you and I are deciding to work together. You\u2019re consciously deciding to partner with me and adhere to the recommendation I\u2019m making in the best interest of your pet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The word \u201ccompliance,\u201d on the other hand, can come across as paternalistic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt means, \u2018You will do what I say. You will give these pills if you want your pet to get better.\u2019 Rather than, \u2018We\u2019ve got some options. The best choice is to give these pills twice a day. How is that going to work for you?\u2019\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Because adherence is a willful decision to go with a doctor\u2019s advice, it\u2019s even more crucial in veterinary medicine than human health care, Dr. Hauser said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got the intermediate layer\u201d of obtaining buy-in from the pet owner, she said. \u201cSo, the idea of partnership is even more important.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What\u2019s important in multidoctor practices is to establish a protocol for injectable products so that a client seen by one
