Overview
Outcomes-based contracts (OBC)s can provide payers and life sciences companies with an innovative and effective approach to pursue high-value care that is ultimately beneficial for patients. This type of contracting structure is an agreement between a health plan and drug and device manufacturers that ties product reimbursement to clinical, quality, utilization, or financial outcomes. Over time, a greater willingness has been demonstrated from both health plans and life sciences companies to pursue and execute OBCs.
New Avalere research finds that 59% of payers have executed an outcomes-based contract. When Avalere first conducted this survey in 2017, 24% of health plans had an OBC in place. Avalere’s survey also found that nearly 60% of health plans with an OBC already in place cited cost savings and clinical improvement as the top advantages of OBCs. Both of these rates have increased since the survey was first conducted in 2017. The capture of real-world information and improved payer–manufacturer relationships were also notable areas of growth.
Avalere found that as payers continue to gain greater experience with outcomes-based contracts, their design and measurement of these contracts are becoming more refined and efficient, and that they have translated into improved cost savings and patient outcomes.
Avalere conducted a 43-question survey of U.S. health plans and pharmacy benefits managers (PBMs) between July 19, 2019 and August 5, 2019. Avalere designed the survey to better gauge and measure current awareness, use, experience, and attitudes toward outcomes-based contracting. Respondents were recruited from a comprehensive panel of health plan and PBM representatives and then screened to determine eligibility. A total of 50 qualified payers participated in the survey.
Avalere’s survey also examined the perceived challenges with OBCs, considerations for looking at a new/existing product, therapeutic areas of focus, cost savings expectations timeline, usage of ancillary services, methods used to measure value, and financial incentives used to execute OBCs.
Please join us on Wednesday, October 30, 2019, at 1 PM Eastern as Avalere’s Sarah Donovan, John Linnehan and Michael Schneider discuss Avalere OBC research findings, insights and implications, in the HealthcareWebSummit event: Avalere Research on Health Plan - Life Science OBCs: The Rise in Outcomes Based Contracts.
