Reimbursement & Market Access
Atheln experts focus on the integration of pricing, reimbursement, and market access when identifying the impact on a product’s development and commercial strategy
In today’s evolving market landscape, understanding reimbursement and market access early in development and its implications on development plans are critical for a product’s future commercial viability. Building a phase appropriate pricing and reimbursement strategy and understanding the implications of potential market access opportunities and challenges are a key component of each product’s go-to-market strategy and a key focus area for investors and strategic partners.
Reimbursement is about effectively conveying the value of a product to the health care system and providers. This requires generating and communicating compelling clinical and health economic data and understanding who will be the payers of a product and their impact on future uptake. Evaluating the coverage and reimbursement landscape early in development can influence a product’s Target Product Profile (TPP) and affect a product’s development plans. The goal is to develop a TPP which supports a product’s value proposition for multiple target audiences including payers.
Atheln focuses on developing a deep understanding of the value of products to patients and the healthcare system and to communicate this to payers. Payer insights are generated through payer interviews and payer analysis for different scenarios.
Based on these assessments and research, Atheln develops phase appropriate strategies and plans and can support the implementation of these plans.
