& MEDICAL DEVICE PRICING& REIMBURSEMENT
CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS
July 26-27, 2010Bridgewater, NJ
Questions to address with pricing and pharmaceconimic modeling…
How do manufacturers price a product?
What constitutes a “value proposition”?
How is healthcare reform going to affect pricing in the future
WHAT’S THE RIGHT PRICE?
How do manufacturers price products?
TooHigh
TooLow
Offensive!
$$ Lost
Step 1: Determine the perceived value of the product
Clinical advance (dosing, delivery, etc.)
Improved Safety Improved Efficacy Unmet Medical Need
Vested interests motivating perceptions
Brand Value Product Attributes
(efficacy, safety, MOD)
Unmet Need Untreated Disease High Volume Market
Perceived Benefits Clinical advance
Economic Value
Cost Effectiveness RxEcon Studies
Cost Savings Medical Cost Offset
Budget Impact PMPM Increase

Step 2: Consider Market Factors
Market Access Tier Placement = Market Share?
Distribution fees Wholesaler PPD and FFS rates on rise SPPs becoming more aggressive
Healthcare legislation Medicaid Med D
Is Tier Placement a Function of Market Share Success?

Two Approaches to Pharmaceconomic Modeling
Establish Predictability of Cost Outlay Budget Impact Analysis
Market Share Changes Drug Volume/Market Penetration
Provide Evidence for Potential Cost Offsets Pharmacoeconomic Analysis
Cost Minimization Cost Effectiveness Cost Utility Cost Benefit
Publication of RxEcon Data Has Impact on Formulary Decision Making
Survey included 95 key decision makers
77% of responders always/often rely on journals for formulary decision making
HE&OR and MC journals rated highest for symptomatic diseases
Clinical journals rated highest for chronic diseases

Health Outcomes to Support Pricing and Reimbursement
The Question of “Effectiveness”
Will the product work under real-world conditions?
Concomitant disease
Patient adherence
Real world prescribing patterns
Key Pricing and Effectiveness Questions
How is our product truly unique? Mechanism of action Route, frequency, onset, duration Efficacy, tolerability, safety
How does this translate into clinical outcomes? Real world populations, subpopulations Ease of use
Who will value the differentiation? Patient/caregiver Quality organization Payer/Purchaser Provider
How much do these stakeholders influence our target market?
Value of Product Differentiation
High Interchangeability
Low Interchangeability

Quality and Health Reform
National strategy for quality improvement HHS Secretary to develop by 1/1/2011
$95million/year 2010-2014 Development, endorsement, dissemination of
quality measures Reduced payments for readmissions
AMI, HF, Pneumonia To begin 10/1/2012
Quality will be tied to reimbursement

Start with the End in Mind
What do we want to say? What evidence would support that claim? What studies would yield this evidence? When would we need this evidence? When would we need to start?
