Pharmaceutical market access vice presidents, executive directors, and business planning leads:
By now, you probably received 2021 market access/brand business planning kickoff dates, templates, and timelines. As you reflect on last year’s process, have you considered ways to better integrate market access business planning into brand planning? Today, this matters more than ever.
The Stakes Have Been Raised
Integrated and robust market access business planning is the most important fundamental success factor for brand business plans. The rate of change in the US marketplace is increasing exponentially, resulting in greater complexity, more decision makers, changing influence, and new criteria for success.
Innovation and advancement in therapy are providing patients with new treatment options; however, challenges stem from the growth and impact on the cost of care.
As a result, payers are exercising increased scrutiny through utilization management, narrowing formularies, stricter prior authorization, formulary exclusions, and increased patient out-of-pocket costs.
Organized provider groups (health systems, integrated delivery networks [IDNs], and large community practices) are exerting similar cost scrutiny characterized by greater reliance on evidence-based medicine and value-based care.
