3 Increasing Patient Burden Has Been Accompanied by Increased Utilization of Co-pay Offset Programs Payer Rebates $40 Billion in Payer Rebates annually from Pharmaceutical Manufacturers to allow patients access to their medications, with an estimated $32B increase over the next decade. Direct to Consumer Rebates/Co-pay Cards In addition, manufacturers have increasingly utilized direct to consumer rebates in the form of copay cards and vouchers to bring down the financial burden on the patient to the tune of $4B/year. What comes next? How will payers react? What does the data show about the impact and ROI of programs?

4 Primary/Final Payer Analysis leverages exclusive PayerSource data, providing best-in-class payerfocused data Exclusive Advantages Payer Visibility Price Sensitivity Brand Substitution Benefit Design Details Specialty/Mail Order Primary and Final Payer Visibility Co-pay Card Program Monitoring Co-pay Card Program Optimization

5 Co-pay Card Monitoring addresses key business questions related to the impact of existing programs How many claims are adjudicated with a brand copay card? When a copay card is used, how much is the initial copay? How much did the co-pay card pay for the prescription? When using a co-pay card, who is the patient's primary health insurer? How much is the patient s final co-pay after using the co-pay card? Double Rebating - What is the true cost of drug? (Payer contracting plus the cost of the co-pay card) When a co-pay card is used, how much did the primary health insurer pay? Are your program's business rules working properly? What is the impact of the brand's total rebate spend on incremental prescription claims?

6 Primary and Final Payer Data reveals utilization of co-pay cards back to the patients RX benefit provider Managed Care Organization RXs with Co Pay Card Avg. Primary Payer Co-Pay Avg.

8 Co-pay Card Optimization studies analyze changes to current programs and optimize new programs Does your brand really need a co-pay buy-down program? What have the results been of previous programs, including competitor programs? What is the potential market impact of a co-pay buy-down program? What is the expected impact on patient fill rates? What is the ideal benefit design for your co-pay card program? What program design optimizes ROI and limits unexpected financial exposure? What can the slope of a price-sensitivity curve tell you about the potential ROI of your program? What is the difference in market opportunity with a buy-down to $35, versus $25? What is the expected co-pay card program ROI? What price-point(s) tend to keep patients persistent with their course of therapy? At a $35 co-pay, how many prescriptions will a patient fill within 12 months? How does that change if the patient is faced with a $25 co-pay? Is a co-pay card the best solution? Or should other alternatives (electronic voucher, etc.) be used?

9 Co-pay Optimization Studies evaluate the impact of existing and new programs to recommend options to improve ROI Transactional level insight into patient s Primary Plan Pay shows initial co-pay amount and Final Plan Pay (co-pay card) provides insights into how much the brand is subsidizing the Rx Determine the Need: Competitive landscape assessment Program Design: Determine appropriate levels and limits for program Deployment of Program: Optimize allocation of resources to maximize ROI Program Evaluation: Determines program profitability and areas to increase ROI
