Details
The goal of this project is to understand the role of FDA’s nonproprietary name suffix in routine clinical care. Currently, there are several ways used by different federal agencies to identify biologics and biosimilars. This project will evaluate how one large institution identifies biosimilars in their systems, from the point of physician order entry through insurance coding and reimbursement.
