Industry Trends - WHY Payers?
When Pharma overpays incentive dollars to those territories with favorable MCO environment, then
company is paying more with getting less;
Conversely there are territories where individuals are
underpaid, causing incentive plan to lose
motivational value

Payer + Pharma = “Frenemies”?
The 1st 6 months of product intro are crucial. Missteps
along the way are the difference between commercial success
and failure.
Payer and Market Access strategy are

When the Gap Isn’t Filled…
"[I]f you are organized around the physician, you are

Merck has been running pilot programs in which reps are
assigned to spend more time with third-party payers.
"We think the focus should be on the Medcos of the world,"
~Ken Frazier, chief of Merck's global pharma

“Substantial evidence”
Not really appropriate for HEOR
data; preference to RCTs, doesn’t
allow modeling
“Competent and
reliable scientific
evidence”
(Section 114)
Section 114 of the FDAMA states
‘‘Health care economic information
provided to a formulary committee, or
other similar entity, in the course of
carrying out its responsibilities for the
selection of drugs for managed care or
other similar organizations, shall not be
considered to be false or misleading if
the health care economic information
directly relates to an indication
approved and is based on competent
and reliable
scientific evidence.’’
How do we deal with CER?
Cost savings claim – probably ok; cost/QALY – probably not OK (under Section 114)

“It’s a surprise to no one that as an industry, we’ve really lagged behind in terms of engaging with end users of our medicines and patients, so social media creates new kinds of opportunities for us to understand, from the patient perspective, what the relative value of our medicines are in the real world,”
Sachin Jain, MD, chief medical information and innovation officer at Merck.
