Economic Clinical Trials:
Clinical trials designed specifically to assess the economic impact of one or more treatments when used to treat a specific medical condition.

Economic Modeling: Development of cost of illness, cost-effectiveness, cost-consequence, cost-utility, and disease models to assess the economic impact of new and existing products, support development decisions, and identify target patient sub-groups.

Claims Data Analysis: The use of medical and pharmacy claims data to assess health resource utilization and consequently the financial impact of alternative treatment options.

NICE (UK) and AMCP Submissions:
Development of dossiers summarizing relevant epidemiological, clinical, and health economics data on new or existing bio-pharmaceutical products in compliance with the submission formats specified by NICE and AMCP.

Budget Impact Computer Models: Development of user-friendly computer models that can identify the potential financial impact of adding new or existing bio-pharmaceutical products to managed care, hospital, third party payor, and government formularies.

Payor Research: Assessment of payor information needs, attitudes towards, and factors influencing the adoption of new treatments and/or indications.

Reimbursement Reviews: Review and analysis of government and third party reimbursement policies and development of strategies to ensure maximum coverage from all payors for clients’ products.

Policy Analysis: Analysis of the business impact of current and impending health care legislation on the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.

Pricing Strategy: Formulation of a competitive pricing strategy for a bio-pharmaceutical product and determining price/volume trade-offs based on the price and efficacy of competing treatments, sequence of market introduction in individual countries and country-specific market characteristics.

Strategic and Implementation Plans: Plans highlighting health economics and reimbursement strategies for bio-pharmaceutical products and proposing studies essential to effective operationalization of those strategies.

Literature Reviews: Critical appraisals and syntheses of pertinent health economics literature.

Competitor Reviews: In-depth analyses of strengths and weaknesses of competitor health economics studies and promotional claims.

Opportunity Assessments: Assessment of the efficacy and safety profiles of client and competitor products, disease epidemiology, and market trends, and identification of the types of economic assessments key to support market access.
