Eye2Eye seminars aim to empower patients and their support networks with clear information about recognizing TED symptoms, navigating diagnosis, understanding treatment options and managing the emotional and day-to-day effects of the disease. Attendees can hear directly from clinical experts, ask questions and access practical resources relevant to their care journeys.
Each seminar will include a care coordination expert who will offer attendees practical guidance on navigating the insurance and financial aspects of accessing care for Thyroid Eye Disease (TED). Topics covered will include insurance navigation, benefits verification, prior authorizations, billing considerations, potential out-of-pocket costs, handling coverage denials and appeals, financial assistance resources, and coordination with payers and specialty pharmacies. The aim is to empower patients and caregivers with a clear understanding of the necessary steps to secure appropriate treatment while identifying resources to minimize barriers to care.
“A TED diagnosis can raise many questions, and patients deserve clear, compassionate information as they consider their options,” said Julie Spencer, spokesperson. “Eye2Eye brings clinical knowledge, practical care coordination guidance, and patient perspectives together so attendees can feel better informed and supported throughout the process.”
Dr. Douglas is a board-certified aesthetic and reconstructive oculoplastic surgeon based in Beverly Hills, California, specializing in oculoplastic surgery and TED treatment and transformations. He is one of the lead scientists in the development of Tepezza, the only FDA-approved treatment for TED, and has pioneered techniques in aesthetic TED transformation.
