How Leap Health Reduces the Total Cost of Multiple Sclerosis Care

Blog Details

For patients requiring long-term MS infusions like Ocrevus or Tysabri, traditional hospital-based treatment comes at a significant financial and logistical cost. Leap Health provides an alternative: cost-effective, patient-friendly infusion therapy that eliminates unnecessary expenses and administrative barriers.

Key Areas Where Leap Health Saves Employers Money

Leap Health's model addresses the biggest cost drivers in MS treatment by:

  • Eliminating unnecessary drug markups
    • On average, Leap saves $51,000 annually per patient.
    • Leap Health’s pass-through pricing ensures employers pay the actual cost of MS drugs, with no additional markups.
  • Reducing site-of-service costs
    • Leap shifts patients away from high-cost hospital outpatient infusions, which can inflate treatment costs by up to 500%.
    • With home infusion, patients avoid facility fees and excessive administrative costs.
  • Improving adherence and reducing long-term disability
    • Missed or delayed infusions lead to worsening symptoms, hospitalizations and long-term disability claims.
    • Leap Health’s proactive care coordination ensures MS patients stay on schedule, reducing complications and improving health outcomes.
  • Enhancing workforce productivity
    • The average MS patient spends an entire day off work for an infusion due to travel, long wait times and post-treatment recovery.
    • Leap Health cuts infusion time to just two hours at home, allowing patients to return to work and daily activities sooner.

March Is National MS Education and Awareness Month

March is a time to raise awareness about MS and advocate for better, more affordable care. For employers, this means recognizing the significant financial and workforce burden that MS places on their organizations and taking action to reduce these costs without sacrificing care quality.

Leap Health is committed to making MS treatment more accessible, cost-effective, and patient-friendly. By eliminating inflated infusion costs and reducing workplace disruptions, Leap helps employers provide better care while saving millions annually.
