National/Local Payer Strategies

Do you understand all of the factors that may affect the utilization of your drug? Which factors are most important and how payers will position your product?

DK Pierce & Associates works with pharmaceutical, biotech, diagnostic and medical device manufacturers to develop strategic and tactical plans that prepare them for the ever-changing market.  Many factors affect how a payer will approach coverage and ongoing utilization oversight, such as:

• The category/class of the drug, biologic, device or service
• Mode of administration or use
• The payer system itself (commercial, government)
• Geographic exposure (national plan vs. local plan)
• Technology price
• Benefit design objectives
• Regulatory mandates
• Employer interface and expectations

Integrating consideration of these and other factors, DK Pierce & Associates can develop tailored strategies to effectively position your product, technology or service among different payers.  This includes a possible national strategy to identify your objectives and goals with payers in a general sense, as well as local implementation strategies and pull-through tactics to address the nuances of local healthcare delivery.
