Bringing Relief Home for Annie

The Challenge

Annie is a single mother of three working full time who was recently diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Her care team prescribed Inflectra, an infusion therapy administered every eight weeks.

Annie lived an hour and a half from the nearest infusion center. Between work, parenting responsibilities, and travel time, she missed 6 months of treatment. As a result, she experienced severe flare-ups that made it difficult to work and care for her children.

The Leap Solution

After Annie’s employer partnered with Leap, a Leap Care Guide quickly connected with Annie and her prescribing physician to address the barriers preventing treatment adherence.

Within days:
• Annie’s care was transitioned to in-home infusions
• Medication delivery and scheduling were coordinated
• A consistent eight-week infusion schedule was established

Patient Impact

By bringing care directly into her home, Leap eliminated Annie’s travel burden and helped her stay consistent with treatment. Over time, Annie regained function in her hands and was able to return to everyday activities at work and at home.

She was so grateful for the support that she sent her Care Guide a thank-you note along with a photo of her hands showing her progress.

“Leap Health is a lifesaver. I’m back to being the mom my kids need. I would recommend Leap to everyone.”
— Annie, Leap member

Employer Impact

Through cost-efficient in-home infusion care and improved treatment adherence, Leap helped Annie’s employer realize $158,000 in claims-validated annual savings.
