Pricing medicines

teaser

The business model of the pharmaceutical industry with a third party and often public payer has always puzzled people. The patients who benefit from treatment with a medicine pay part or even nothing of the cost. Within this constrained environment, pricing is more important than ever. To set a price too high may block market access, to set a price too low will leave money on the table.
Getting the price wrong on a new drug can greatly impact its potential success.  For example, if it is priced too high, physicians and payers may shy away from prescribing or reimbursing it because they might perceive that the drug provides too little benefit for the added cost.  Ironically, if a new drug is priced at a discount to an existing therapy, it might also be avoided because the lower price might imply inferiority.  But the goal for any pricing discussion is simple: how do we optimise revenues for this new medicine?
