To allow for the optimal positioning of your product, portfolio, or company, it is critical to understand the various forces that shape the US specialty access landscape. Certara’s teams have been tracking a wide range of critical market access developments in the US for over two decades. In this webinar, we will share some of the broader and more ubiquitous market trends we have recently uncovered.
Based on proprietary research with a panel of 31 payers representing over 198M lives, our experts will be looking at the increasing volume control over prescribed therapies by various payer types, present new data on tighter formularies and stricter utilization management, and current payer cost shifting strategies.
We will also be giving guidance on future policies, some of which offer a drastic redesign of the current landscape as we know it today.

- Major trends in US Specialty Pharmacy
