Unscripted Podcast - Navigating Treatment, Access, and Outcomes in Idiopathic Hypersomnia

6/25/26

In this episode of the AMCP Unscripted podcast, guest host Denise Wolff, PharmD, CEO & Founder of Denise & Co., LLC, welcomes Zachary Contreras, PharmD, RPh, Director of Pharmacy Benefits, Sharp Health Plan, for a discussion on idiopathic hypersomnia (IH), a chronic neurological sleep disorder that remains widely underrecognized despite its profound impact on patients’ lives. Together, they explore the challenges of diagnosing IH, including a diagnostic delay that can exceed a decade, the significant burden the condition places on work, relationships, education, and overall quality of life, and the reasons many patients remain invisible within healthcare systems. The episode highlights practical steps health plans can take today to reduce barriers to care, improve long-term outcomes, and help patients with idiopathic hypersomnia receive the diagnosis and treatment they need sooner.
