Rewarding Results: Moving Forward on Value-Based Contracting for Biopharmaceuticals

The shift in US health care, from payment based on volume to payment based on value, has sparked interest among payers and pharmaceutical companies in new pricing and contracting arrangements for prescription drugs. The objective of these new arrangements is to reward pharmaceutical manufacturers for results, paying them for improved patient outcomes from successful use of drugs rather than paying them based on the volume of drugs sold. A wide range of drugs could be covered through these arrangements. They vary from high-cost specialty pharmaceuticals to more conventional drugs for chronic conditions that account for large costs in health care. If properly executed, value-based contracts could align with important societal goals: better health of individuals and populations, better quality health care, and sustainable growth rates of health spending.
