Amarin Corp Plc (AMRN)

[sharonc]

Insurance companies only care about their cost within the current plan year. Amarin needs to get a real indication from the FDA for triglycerides 200-500 before insurance companies will cover these drugs. At that point, they will then need to go back to the individual plans and negotiate price.

Until then, Vascepa will continue to be for those with triglycerides > 500 who also take a statin or for those patients with resources willing to pay out of pocket.
