Pricing and Reimbursement 2005 / 2006, Evaluating Key Strategic Issues

May 31, 2008 - PRLog -- One of the two major issues for a drug company, besides gaining market authorisation, is persuading the country in question to reimburse them, that is pay for the drug that the company is attempting to market. But price is the key here, if a drug is priced too low revenues will be compromised, and if priced too high the drug company reduces the chances of reimbursement, severely denting profits.

All countries have different pricing and reimbursement systems; all with a differing emphasis. Some countries have a drug reference pricing system where the price of the drug has to correspond to a basket of prices from other leading countries; some allow a price only based on permitted future profits, and the US alone has a supposedly free market where the drug company is free to set any price. Although, the reality of this ‘free market’ is perhaps not as free as the US system of pricing implies. Also the new Medicare Act 2003 has even more implications for the fate of drug prices in the US healthcare economy and possibly favourable consequences for the future profitability of drug companies in the US market.
