Report Highlights

When seeking a higher price for an additional indication, in an ideal case, the product will offer superior clinical and economic value, the additional indication will have a small, geographically concentrated population, and the product will be delivered in specialized clinics or hospitals only.

Barriers to dual pricing may include regulatory issues, and lack of differentiation at supply chain and prescriber levels.

Germany, the UK, and France among others are changing pricing and reimbursement systems, in efforts to contain healthcare spending. Most notably, free pricing in Germany is to become much more constrained.
