As Copay Aid Recedes, Retina Treatment ‘Unsustainable'
A funding shortfall for a key copay assistance program to help make eye injections more affordable for low-income patients has caused widespread disruption in treatment, researchers have found. Good Days is a nonprofit charitable organization set up to help people on Medicare who have retinal disease and other chronic conditions cover copays for treatments, such as intravitreal injections to treat age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic macular edema, diabetic retinopathy, and geographic atrophy. Retina practices have reported the program, which receives financial support from Regeneron, stopped accepting new enrollees in 2025. According to the group's 2024 financial statements, Good Days — an arm of the Chronic Disease Fund, Inc. — provided funding to more than 422,000 patients that year and reported more than $480 million in contributions and grants. The new analysis, of more than 280,000 treated eyes in a national database of electronic health records, found people in low-income zip codes have been disproportionately affected by the loss of assistance. Ghassan Ghorayeb, MD, MBA 'There is clear evidence that the loss of copay assistance triggered widespread disruptions in evidence-based care,' Ghassan Ghorayeb, MD, MBA, a vitreoretinal specialist at West Virginia University in Morgantown, West Virginia, told Medscape Medical News . Ghorayeb presented the findings at the 2025 meeting of the American Society of Retina Specialists (ASRS) 2025 Annual Meeting in Long Beach, California. Ghorayeb said he and colleague Philip Niles, MD, MBA, undertook the two-part study — a survey of ASRS members paired with an analysis of real-world data — after 'the abrupt underfunding' of the Good Days program in late 2024. Most Vulnerable, Most Harm The analysis used electronic health record data from 340 retina specialists in 68 US practices collected from January 2024 to June 2025. The study included 146,551 eyes treated for AMD, 113,375 treated for diabetic macular edema, and 95,925 treated for geographic atrophy. The analysis calculated the effect of the funding shortfall on people who had switched out of more costly branded treatments to off-label bevacizumab (Avastin), which can cost between $50 and $80 per injection before copays. Bevacizumab is a cancer drug compounding pharmacies repackage for off-label ocular administration. Medicare and Medicaid cover the off-label use for retinal disease. According to a schedule posted by Retina Specialty Institute, a retina practice in three Southeastern states, out-of-pocket costs for branded intravitreal injections can range from $88 and $137 for ranibizumab 0.3 and 0.5 mg to $558 for a ranibizumab biosimilar and $537 for aflibercept 8 mg. 'We saw significant increases in off-label Avastin switching, sample reliance, and treatment discontinuation,' Ghorayeb told Medscape Medical News . 'These shifts were not benign: real-world data and physician surveys both linked them to higher rates of visual decline, particularly in economically disadvantaged zip codes. The most vulnerable patients experienced the most harm.' The analysis found switching from branded drugs to lower-cost bevacizumab has increased 45.6% for AMD and 37% for diabetic macular edema from 2024 to 2025, Ghorayeb reported. That translated into an increase in vision loss of 26% for the former patients and 19% for the latter. Clinicians in the study also relied more on using samples of medicines that were previously reimbursed, with a 44% increase for AMD injections, 8.3% for diabetic macular edema, and 203% for geographic atrophy, Ghorayeb said. While injections for geographic atrophy increased by 40% from 2023 to 2024 as new agents won FDA approval, injections for the indication have declined by 1% so far in 2025, he said. The study also tracked what Ghorayeb described as 'unsustainable' practices in clinics, when patients receive multiple samples of the same drug in a single eye or were switched to off-label bevacizumab despite declining vision with the drug. 'We found a sharp increase in unsustainable care patterns across the board, more than 30% in diabetic macular edema and hovering around 60% in wet AMD and geographic atrophy,' he told attendees at the meeting. Vision decline after switching from on-label therapies to bevacizumab were 44% more common in lower-income zip codes, Ghorayeb said. 'Not Marginal Effects' 'These are not marginal effects,' Ghorayeb told Medscape Medical News. 'They reflect real harm attributable to affordability-driven treatment changes.' Programs such as Good Days are 'fundamental to equitable care delivery,' he said. 'Even patients with Medicare or Medicare Advantage were unable to maintain their treatment regimens without supplemental support. Loss of assistance led to downgraded therapy, missed injections, and vision loss. We believe that maintaining copay support is a clinical and economic imperative.' Looming Medicaid cuts and reductions in Medicare reimbursements 'could tip the balance from unsustainable to untenable,' Ghorayeb said. 'Without systemic support, we risk abandoning our most vulnerable patients and undermining the gains made in treating retinal disease over the past two decades.' The study underscores a broader truth, he added: 'When the cost of care becomes a barrier, outcomes suffer.' Michael Lai, MD, PhD 'The study findings show that the economics of intravitreal injections are extremely fragile and tightly tethered to copay assistance programs,' Michael Lai, MD, PhD, a retina specialist at the Retinal Group of Washington, DC, told Medscape Medical News. 'A significant number of Medicare and Medicare Advantage patients depend on supplemental financial support to obtain necessary vision-saving retinal therapies.' The study demonstrated that disparities of care in lower-income communities 'are even greater than we had assumed,' Lai said. 'The underfunding of Good Days caught many patients and retina specialists off guard,' he added. 'All of the coping mechanisms we have resorted to so far, including switching to repackaged Avastin, using free samples and skipping or postponing injections, are unsustainable.' 'I sincerely hope that the information and data from this presentation will motivate all relevant stakeholders including industry partners, policymakers, and our societies to come together to find a solution to help our patients.' Ghorayeb had no relevant disclosures. Lai had served as a consultant to Apellis Pharmaceuticals.

Brain Retraining Yields Lasting Relief of Chronic Back Pain
Psychological therapy that changes an individual's beliefs about pain can provide lasting relief for chronic back pain (CBP), long-term follow-up results of a randomized controlled trial showed. More than half of those who received the brain-focused pain reprocessing therapy (PRT) reported being nearly or completely pain-free 5 years later, outperforming placebo and usual care. While improved coping with chronic pain is the goal of some psychological treatments, 'our findings indicate that PRT can provide durable recovery from CBP for some patients,' noted the authors, led by Yoni Ashar, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, Weill Cornell Medical College, New York City. The study was published online on July 30 in JAMA Psychiatry . Retraining the Brain CBP is a leading cause of disability, and durable, nonpharmacologic treatments are scarce. PRT educates patients about the role of the brain in generating chronic pain, helps them reappraise their pain as they engage in movements that they had been afraid to undertake, and helps them address emotions that may exacerbate pain. The original study included 151 adults (54% women; mean age, 41 years) who had had primary CBP of low-to-moderate severity (mean pain intensity, 4 of 10) for an average of 10 years. In all, 50 participants were randomly allocated to PRT (one telehealth session with a physician and eight PRT sessions over 4 weeks), 51 to placebo (subcutaneous saline injection in the back), and 50 to continue their routine, usual ongoing care. As previously reported by Medscape Medical News , PRT led to large reductions in CBP severity, with benefits generally maintained through 1-year follow-up. A total of 113 (75%) participants completed the 5-year follow-up, including 38 in the PRT group, 39 in the placebo group, and 36 in the usual care group. At 5 years, PRT participants reported significantly lower pain intensity than placebo and usual care participants; the adjusted mean pain intensity was 1.93 in the PRT group vs 3.19 in the placebo and 2.60 in the usual care groups; PRT was superior to both comparators ( P = .006 vs placebo; P = .04 vs usual care). In the PRT group, 55% of PRT patients were nearly or completely pain free at 5 years vs 26% in the placebo and 36% in the usual care groups ( P = .03). Beyond pain intensity, PRT yielded significant improvements in pain interference, depression, anger, reduced kinesiophobia, and stronger attribution of pain to mind-brain processes. PRT had no significant differential effects at 5 years on sleep, anxiety, positive effect, catastrophizing, or perceived controllability of pain. The authors noted that the original sample had low-to-moderate baseline pain severity, and trials in higher-severity populations are needed to evaluate generalizability.

Ready to Start Exercising After Baby? Try This Postpartum Workout Plan
During pregnancy, eating a healthy diet and staying active is a top priority. But once baby is here, many women put their own health on the back burner. Even for those who want to prioritize movement, postpartum exercise can feel a bit overwhelming. Where should you start? How can you rebuild strength safely? The most important thing is to start slow and go at your own pace. Walking is a great low-impact activity you can do with your baby to ease into movement, boost your metabolism and improve cardiovascular health. An added bonus: On days that you are unable to squeeze in a full workout, going for a walk while pushing your baby is a great way to sneak in some exercise and allow for extra bonding time, too. When you're cleared for exercise by a doctor and ready to commit to a consistent workout plan, here are the four types of movements to add into your weekly workout routine. Benefits of postpartum exercise Exercising after having a baby is important for reasons far beyond fitting into your pre-pregnancy clothes. It's about reclaiming your energy, strength and overall well-being. Think of it as refueling your tank so you can be the best version of yourself for your baby. In terms of your physical health, getting back into a workout routine can help with strengthening your core to support your back, which is much-needed when you are constantly lifting and carrying your baby. Postpartum exercise can also boost your mood and reduce the risk of postpartum depression while improving sleep quality so you can better handle those sleepless nights. Postpartum workout plan A well-rounded workout plan includes core work, cardio, strength training and stretching. Here are some great exercises in each category that you can start incorporating into your routine. Always consult your doctor and wait until you are cleared for exercise before jumping into a fitness routine. Core These exercises can be done everyday to start rebuilding core strength and toning the midsection. Pelvic tilts Lying on your back with your feet on the floor, open your feet as wide as your hips. Reach your arms toward your heels. Take a deep breath in through your nose and fill your stomach up with air. Then, exhale through your mouth and pull your naval in toward your spine. To exaggerate this, as you breathe in slowly arch your low back up off of the ground, keeping your tailbone planted. Then, as you exhale press your low back into the ground as you tilt your pelvis towards your ribs. Repeat these pelvic tilts forward and back 10 times. Glute Bridge Lie flat on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Your knees should be hip-distance apart. Perform a pelvic tilt and then raise your hips off the ground by squeezing your glutes to create a straight line from your neck to your knees, being careful not to hyperextend your hips. Pause for a breath before lowering back down, starting with the upper back and lowering each vertebrae until your butt is resting on the ground. Repeat 10 times. Dead Bug Begin by lying down flat on your back. Ensure your shoulders and low back remain flat on the floor. Next, lift your hands above your shoulders. Then, lift your legs and bend your knees, with your knees over your hips at a 90-degree angle. Exhale, engaging the core, as you slowly lower your opposite arm and leg (left leg and right arm), hovering them above the floor. Return to the starting position. Repeat on the opposite side (right leg and left arm). Repeat for 5 repetitions on each side. Half roll down Seated on the ground, bend your knees. (For a more advanced exercise, straighten your legs.) Then, reach your arms out in front of you with the shoulders relaxed. Pull the naval in toward the spine and slowly roll down half way to the floor. Hold for a breath and then slowly roll back up to the starting position. Repeat this ab exercise 10 times. Strength These exercises can be done every other day, but I recommend aiming for 3 times per week to start building full-body strength, boost metabolism and toning your muscles. I recommend performing three sets of 10 repetitions. Squats Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your toes pointed forward. Pull your navel in toward your spine to engage your core. Bend at the hips and knees while keeping your heels and toes on the floor. Slowly sit back into a squat position with your chest up, your shoulders back and abs in. Make sure that your knees are not crossing over your toes, and that you are as close to a 90-degree angle as possible. Straighten your legs by pressing into your heels to stand back up. Squeeze your glutes at the top, tilting your pelvis forward. Repeat. Backward lunge Stand with your feet as wide as your hips. Step the right foot back into a lunge position. Engage your abs and lower your right leg down until your knee almost touches the floor. Both knees should be at about a 90-degree angle. Push down through the front heel to come back up to standing. Repeat 10 times before switching sides. Bicep curls Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart. Engage your abs by tucking your pelvis and softly bend your knees. Hold one dumbbell in each hand (I recommend starting with 5-pound weights), and relax your arms so that they hang at the sides of your body. Make sure your palms are facing forward. Keep your shoulders back and down. Bend at your elbow and curl the dumbbells up toward your shoulders. Make sure to keep your elbows hugging the sides of your body. Lower both weights back down slowly. Exhale while lifting the weights, and inhale when you lower them down. Repeat 10 times. Tricep kickbacks Stand with your feet as wide as your hips, knees slightly bent. Hold on to one weight in each hand, and let your arms hang down toward your knees. Hinge at the hips so that your chest is tilted down toward the ground. Hug your elbows into your sides and pull your elbows up into a row. From here, keep the elbows stationary and extend the forearms back into the tricep kickback. Come back to the row position and then repeat the kickbacks. Repeat. Cardio No matter where you are in your fitness journey, a daily walking is something I encourage. Even on days when the weather - or your baby - doesn't cooperate you can get your steps in from the comfort of your living room by walking in place, doing laps around the house or doing one of my Indoor Walking Workout Routines. Other low-impact, postpartum-friendly cardio options include swimming, biking and rowing. Walking in place Walking in place is just as simple as it sounds — walk in place for 60 seconds bursts. Swing your arms, smile and breathe in and out through your nose. For an added challenge, walk with high knees, pulling one knee up to hip height (forming a 90-degree angle) before lowering it to the ground and raising the opposite knee. Stretch Make stretching a part of your daily routine. You can use these exercises as a warmup or cool down for a workout or simply sprinkle them throughout the day to help ease tension and combat aches and pains. Wide-leg forward fold Stand in a wide straddle with your feet parallel. Bring your hands to your hips or let them hang by your sides. Inhale and look up to the sky. Exhale and hinge at the hips, folding forward. Keep the hips in line with the heels and reach your fingertips toward the ground. If your flexibility allows, walk your fingertips forward while you pull your hips back. Ground through the heels. Hold for a few breaths and then slowly roll back up to standing. Repeat. Cat Cow Start on all fours with your hands below your shoulders and knees below your hips. Breathe in while lifting your head up toward the ceiling. Arch your back as you breathe in, moving your stomach toward the ground. Then, exhale while pulling your chin to your chest and pulling your abs in so that you arch your back toward the ceiling. Continue alternating back and forth for about one minute. Crescent Lunge From a standing position, step your left foot back behind you. Bend your right knee to a 90-degree angle, keeping your knee over your toes. Reach your arms toward the sky and straighten your back. Hold for 5 breaths, relaxing the shoulders, before switching sides. Hamstring stretch Start standing tall. Step your right foot 1-2 feet forward and bend your left knee as you lean forward over the straight right leg. Flex the right foot. Feel a stretch down the back of your leg and into your calf. Hold for 2-4 breaths and then switch sides. This article was originally published on
