    Corinne Johnson's questions to NEUROCRINE BIOSCIENCES (NBIX) leadership • Q2 2025

    Question

    Corinne Johnson of Goldman Sachs inquired about the reimbursement process for Crinesity, asking when it might become more formulary-driven and how that could affect net pricing.

    Answer

    CCO Eric Benevich explained that since Crinesity is a 'class of one,' many health plans may continue to cover it as a non-formulary product rather than conduct a formal review. He highlighted that reimbursement has been surprisingly fast, with over 75% of dispensed prescriptions being paid for, minimizing the need for the free goods program. Consequently, he does not expect to provide formulary coverage statistics as a key metric.
