A Multidisciplinary Approach to Pricing
and Reimbursement
MattsonJack's Pricing and Reimbursement specialists take
a multidisciplinary approach to pharmaceutical pricing and
reimbursement in order to develop integrated solutions for
our clients.
Pharmaceutical benefit costs are rising
and payers increasingly pass costs on to patients or restrict
access through step therapies and prior authorization requirements.
Federal involvement in prescription drug coverage threatens
to increase pressure on drug pricing. The Medicaid Best Price,
340B, and Part B programs are examples of how federal activity
reduces manufacturers' ability to adjust prices. Understanding
how pharmaceuticals are priced within the product distribution
chain is critical for commercial success. Critical issues
include:
- demonstrating value with superior safety,
efficacy, cost-effectiveness, and improved outcomes
- better understanding of health economics
and outcomes to optimize product positioning
- developing a winning value proposition Reimbursement and Pricing
with payers to optimize pricing and reimbursement
