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?

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?
