The Future of Market Access (Series): Current and Future Trends in Managed Care and Market Access

As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, understanding the trends in managed care is more critical than ever in ensuring market access success for biopharmaceutical products and delivering superior healthcare to patients. With pressure to control costs, improve care quality, and navigate regulatory complexities, managed care organizations are faced with significant challenges and opportunities in the years ahead. To better understand the changes that major stakeholders are anticipating and those stakeholders’ key areas of focus, SciVida conducted wide-ranging interviews with executives from leading managed care organizations. In this paper, we detail the results of those discussions across four key categories: controlling direct and indirect healthcare costs; improving healthcare quality and member experience; adapting to regulatory, compliance, and policy uncertainties; and enhancing contracting and/or partnerships with branded drug manufacturers.
