Autoimmune diseases are costly, difficult to diagnose, and primarily afflict women during their prime working years. Autoimmune therapies cost at least $54.1 billion annually, making them the third most costly therapeutic class after diabetes (#1) and oncologics (#2).
"Autoimmune conditions strike women during the prime of their lives and careers – there is no reason for them to suffer for years before they find relief," said Dr. Robin Berzin, Founder and CEO of Parsley Health. "Because autoimmune conditions affect multiple organs and systems, missed diagnoses and misdiagnoses are common. On average, patients with autoimmune conditions see four doctors and suffer for 4.5 years before receiving an accurate diagnosis, which is heartbreaking."
As reported by the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association, a 40 percent of patients questioned had to forego therapy due to excessive expenses. In addition, nearly 80 percent of the almost 24 million Americans diagnosed with such an autoimmune illness are women. Despite the delayed diagnosis, instances have increased by 50 percent over the last three decades - a trend that continues.
Health expenditures are eight times greater for someone with numerous complicated diseases, such as an autoimmune disorder, than for someone healthy. As a result of viewing the body as an integrated system instead of discrete components, Parsley's physicians can deliver clearer diagnoses and treatment regimens that alleviate symptoms, reduce medicines, and even put certain chronic autoimmune disorders into remission.
According to third-party confirmed outcomes data, Parsley patients have a 65percentage decrease in autoimmune drugs, with 12 percent entirely removing them while under Parsley's treatment. The debut of Parsley's nationwide autoimmune protocol coincides with the company's revelation that it has entered into in-network agreements with Aetna NY, Aetna CA, and Blue Shield CA, with the additional health plan, employer, and enterprise partnerships set to launch later this year.
