Payers Want to Know How a Technology Works Under Routine Practice Can it work? (Efficacy) Does it work? (Effectiveness) Is it worth it? (Value) Demonstration of Added Therapeutic Value Assessed By Multiple Decisions-Makers Drives Market/Patient Access Decision- Makers Regulatory Agency Payer Prescriber Patient as Payer Drug/biologic Candidate Road to Market/Patient Access Market Access Assessment Questions Does the drug/biologic do more good than harm in a defined patient group in a controlled experimental setting? What are the health and cost consequences associated with drug/biologic relative to other interventions in specific payerdefined group of patients? How does the drug/biologic perform relative to other interventions in this patient? Am I willing to pay out-of-pocket or higher premiums for this treatment? Figure adopted from: Eichler GH et al.
