Value, Access & Policy

The core objective of pharmaceutical Market Access teams is to ensure that patients in need have timely and sustained access to (new) treatments. However, today’s Market Access environment is more challenging than ever before, putting patient access to life saving treatments in jeopardy.

The Market Access challenge continues

Continuous technological advances and demographic trends will put additional pressure on healthcare budgets, forcing payers to take austerity measures and scrutinize budget allocation decisions. Payers want to see increasingly compelling and real-life evidence of a drug’s superior value combined with pricing and payment schemes that will minimize risk for their healthcare system.

Excellent Market Access teams are ready to face these challenges by:

  • Developing Market Access strategies focused on demonstrating real value and minimizing risk for the organization and external stakeholders;
  • Organizing in cross-functional teams that are involved in early development (latest from phase II onward);
  • Collaborating with national and local payers to ensure timely and honest feedback on Market Access strategies, dossiers and solutions.
