The Senate is getting into the nitty-gritty of what exactly will be included in a massive $3.5 trillion infrastructure package that seeks to make major reforms to Medicare.

And that means healthcare industry groups are watching very closely.

Democrats have called for the $3.5 trillion package to tackle drug prices and add dental, hearing and vision benefits to Medicare, as well as efforts to expand coverage. But the actual legislation on how to do that will now be crafted by Senate committees and considered by lawmakers when they return from their August recess next month.

August 9, 2021 - Fierce Healthcare
Startup Cricket Health scored $83.5 million in fresh capital to fuel its growth as it sees growing demand for its personalized approach to kidney care. The series B funding round was led by Valtruis, which is focused on investing in companies with value-based and health-at-home models. Existing investors Oak HC/FT and Cigna Ventures as well as K2 HealthVentures also participated, and the round included a strategic investment from Blue Shield of California.

August 10, 2021 - Fierce Biotech
The COVID-19 pandemic emphasized the need for quicker clinical trial enrollment and more decentralized studies to assuage safety concerns. Those long-lasting impacts have given investors the confidence to funnel $220 million into Reify Health. The series C is more than seven times the size of Reify's $30 million series B, raised almost exactly one year ago. The massive investment gives Boston-based Reify a $2.2 billion valuation, which is more than double the valuation of hybrid trial company Science 37 through its planned special purpose acquisition merger.

August 11, 2021 - Fierce Pharma
We’re not yet done with the coronavirus pandemic, but you wouldn’t know it from the second-quarter results in the pharma industry. After a tentative first quarter of 2021—attributed to the pandemic and a change of the guard in Washington, D.C.—signs of recovery abound. Over the last few weeks as companies have presented their quarterly numbers, most are telling a different version of the same story. Drug sales are up, with some therapeutic areas rebounding faster than others.

August 13, 2021 - Contact Pharma
