Payer Perspective on Reimbursement of One-Time High-Cost Durable Therapies
by Jane Barlow
The reimbursement of emerging durable and potentially curative cell and gene therapies challenge U.S. payers due to their high upfront costs. In addition, the lack of long-term clinical durability data amplifies uncertainties which complicate payer coverage and reimbursement determinations. These cell and gene therapy characteristics could negatively impact patient access and ultimately, future developer innovation. The Financing and Reimbursement of Cures in the U.S. (FoCUS) project was launched in 2016 by MIT with the objective of elucidating the challenges and financial impact created by durable/potentially curative therapies and providing implementable models to manage the financial impact on the U.S. healthcare system.

Real Endpoints’ CEO Jeff Berkowitz will be on a panel defining the increasing challenges of this approach, particularly given how competitive even the narrowest orphan conditions have become, and how companies must adapt to meet them.
