Further, this project will additionally be augmented through the development of a prior authorization (PA) tool to be developed in collaboration with PRIME CE https://primece.com and the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP). Dr. Harold Bays, OMA’s Chief Science Officer, Editor-in-Chief of Obesity Pillars , and Vice President of the OMA worked closely with these organizations in developing a PA tool to assist with payor coverage for PCSK9i for those patients with hypercholesterolemia, which we plan to replicate for AOMs as well. The publication for this project is here https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33251993/ and the educational module (with access to the PA form) for this project is here: https://primeinc.org/online/integrating prior-authorization-checklist-advance-evidence-based-care-patients Proposed Budget: Website Development and Maintenance: $150K Education content/curation: $30K Staff Support (project management work including website updates and maintenance, facilitation of Project ECHO initiatives, marketing the program, etc.): $85K Honoraria for OM Experts' hosting of "case reviews" monthly educational sessions: $10K Total Proposed Budget: approximately $275K
