Description

As pricing pressure grow on the pharmaceutical industry, a recent article in Invivo argues that drugmakers must look to a variety of new pricing models built around collaborations with payers and providers. Such an approach, the authors argue, would minimize conflicts between stakeholders, close the information gap about the real-world value of new drugs, and allow for a more evidence-based approach to pricing. We spoke to Susan Garfield, a principal in EY's Life Sciences Advisory Services practice and co-author of the Invivo article, about the need for new approaches to pricing, why the existing unit price approach is too one-dimensional, and what’s at stake for the industry if it fails to innovate new models.
