Patients and caregivers often receive payment to help manage clinical trial- related hardships. But for Americans on public assistance, reportable income may threaten to disqualify them for programs such as SNAP and Medicaid. Many communities that aren’t represented in the drug development process are kept out of clinical research by an unintentional dynamic caused by our tax rules. Choosing to participate could be the same as giving up access to benefits they rely on. Mural Health is calling on Congress to add a gross income exclusion for all payments made to clinical trial participants. The exclusion would also remove reporting requirements that prevent the ~90 million Americans (~27% of the population) enrolled in a public assistance program from participating in clinical research.

Thank you to The Heart of Healthcare Podcast for mentioning Mural Health and our legislative work in your latest episode! In their latest episode, Steve Kraus and Halle Tecco, MPH, MBA discuss the FDA's latest guidance on improving diversity in clinical trial enrollment, and how Mural Health’s proposed legislation to remove taxation on participant payments would support that effort. You can learn more about our bill and sign your support here: https://lnkd.in/eaMy25TA
One of my favorite #digitalhealth monthly wrap-ups is from The Heart of Healthcare with Halle Tecco, MPH, MBA and Steve Kraus. In the latest episode 👇, which dropped yesterday, they discuss: -> The Peterson Institute's new report on #digitaltreatments for musculoskeletal conditions (spoiler: this one was much more favorable than their last report on diabetes digital health solutions). (https://lnkd.in/ddk3h-V2) -> The new FDA guidance on diversity in clinical trials, and they touch on a cool initiative that I hadn't heard of from Mural Health aiming to change legislation making clinical trial payments exempt from taxable income. (https://lnkd.in/dtQkpr7Z) -> Goldman Sachs' report that the use of GLP-1 drugs for obesity in the U.S. could result in a whopping 1% increase in GDP. -> Walgreens closing of of a quarter of its stores across the country, raising questions about the sustainability of the traditional pharmacy model in the current market. Lots more in the episode to make this an #interestinglisten for those who are in the #digitalhealth space. 👇 https://lnkd.in/dPWv_57h

Earlier this year, Mural Health introduced the Harley Jacobsen Clinical Trial Participation Income Exemption Act (H.R. 7418), co-sponsored by PA Congressional leaders Mike Kelly and Chrissy Houlahan. The bill seeks to exclude all payments, to all participants, in all clinical trials from being treated as taxable income. In this 5-minute video, Mural Health's cofounder & CEO, Samuel Whitaker, explains the problem we're addressing, what other legislative efforts exist in this field, and why the Harley Jacobsen Act has the unique potential to increase access to trials for ~1/3 of the American population. https://lnkd.in/e7mi9sAQ #clinicaltrials #clinicalresearch
