In this episode, the panelists provide a candid look at how payers are increasingly open to innovative reimbursement structures—but only if the groundwork is thoughtfully laid. It’s not enough to pitch a novel payment model; manufacturers must bring solutions tied to the payer’s biggest challenges and be ready to share risk.
Key discussion topics include:
- Designing outcome-based contracts aligned with payer data systems.
- When and how to engage payer medical directors in model design.
- Differences in feasibility across pharmacy and medical benefit products.
- Why a strong value proposition must precede any innovative contract.
