MA plans' near-universal prior authorization creates administrative friction that may worsen the already-poor adherence rates for GLP-1s. PA requirements ensure only T2D-diagnosed patients can access, effectively blocking obesity-only coverage despite FDA approval. This access restriction compounds the chronic-use economics challenge by adding administrative barriers on top of existing adherence problems.

Medicare-specific modeling shows $715M net savings over 10 years when comprehensive multi-indication access allows a single risk-bearing payer to capture cardiovascular ($1,512/subject), CKD ($2,074/subject), and T2D complication savings ($14,431/subject) that offset drug costs. This demonstrates the system-level vs. payer-level economics divergence: inflationary at the system level where costs and savings are distributed, but potentially cost-saving under capitated/risk-bearing arrangements.

SELECT trial exploratory analysis (N=17,604, median 41.8 months) shows semaglutide reduces ALL-CAUSE hospitalizations by 10% (18.3 vs 20.4 per 100 patient-years, P<.001) and total hospital days by 11% (157.2 vs 176.2 days per 100 patient-years, P=.01). Critically, benefits extended beyond cardiovascular causes to total hospitalization burden, suggesting systemic effects across multiple organ systems.

10-year Medicare modeling quantifies the multi-organ benefit: 38,950 cardiovascular events avoided (2,791 MIs, 3,000 revascularizations, 487 strokes per 100K subjects), plus CKD progression delay worth $2,074/subject and T2D complication avoidance worth $14,431/subject. The compounding effect is sufficient to produce net savings when a single payer captures all three benefit streams.

Medicare modeling confirms CKD savings of $2,074 per subject treated with semaglutide, contributing to overall net savings of $715M over 10 years. While T2D complication avoidance ($14,431/subject) produces larger per-patient savings, the CKD benefit is a meaningful component of the multi-indication value proposition.

PRIMARY CONNECTION: [[GLP-1 receptor agonists are the largest therapeutic category launch in pharmaceutical history but their chronic use model makes the net cost impact inflationary through 2035]]
WHY ARCHIVED: This study provides the strongest evidence that the "inflationary through 2035" framing needs scope qualification — system-level vs. payer-level economics diverge when downstream savings accrue to the same entity
EXTRACTION HINT: Focus on the distinction between system-level cost impact (inflationary) and risk-bearing payer impact (potentially cost-saving). This is the core VBC interaction.
