After KV disclosed plans to charge $1,500, compared with $10 to $20 a week for compunded versions of a med that has been used for decades, the drugmaker and the FDA came under fire by politicians, patient groups and some doctors (see this and this). In response, the FDA says it will not prevent compounders from compounding (see this), adding unexpected to competition to KV, which has a 7-year exclusivity period. We spoke with Cole Werble (pictured left) and Ramsey Baghdadi who track pharma for Prevision Policy, a healthcare analysis firm, and who are also editors at The RPM Rep...

Goldberg and Rush University Medical Center employee June Beecham has been used by the federal government to file Medicare fraud charges against six Chicago orthopedic surgeons. The physicians were accused of booking surgeries that they billed Medicare for but did not adequately supervise. The orthopedic surgeons named included Drs. Brian J. Cole, Aaron G. Rosenberg, Craig J. Della Valle, Wayne G. Paprosky, and Mitchell B. Sheinkop.

He helped the automaker win a bailout from the Obama administration last year and was subsequently involved in talks with the White House on still more federal aid. Athough Ed Whitacre signaled his intent to reorganize (see this), Cole was recognized in some circles for helping to successfully portray GM as a sympathetic entity deserving federal assistance. What can he do for Pfizer? A bailout is unlikely, but there are always a gazillion issues of importance, from prying open market access to other nations to winning greater coverage in government plans for the sorts of drug that it sells. And it would appear he has some idea of how to pitch and package a company t...

The Washington Post published the story of such folks earlier this month. What they hadn’t counted on was a domestic dispute taken to their comments’ section of the online version of the story. The man profiled in the article agreed to have his real name published. In hindsight, this may have not been the wisest idea. His wife soon found the article online and disagreed with some of the things written about her husband in the article: Cole’s wife blasted her husband. Rather than being laid off, Lori Cole wrote in a comment, he was “fired fo... World of Psychology blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2730147 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 16:15:42 +0100 2730147
