• Background on immune-mediated conditions.
• Biologics and biosimilars: What are they?
• Information on biosimilars and generics.
• Cost of biologics and biosimilars.
• The importance of adhering to their treatment plan.
• Tips to start the conversation with their provider.
• Safety of biologics and biosimilars.
