Featured Case Study

Hub ExcellenceTM analysis of patient services programs revealed a significant gap

Situation

A biotech company commissioned a Hub Excellence diagnostic six months after significant program enhancements.

Approach

  • Quantitative online survey followed by in-depth interviews with users of HCP and patient services
  • Analyzed customer challenges and expectations, awareness, and prioritization of program elements

Findings

Only 3% aware of “no income restriction” aspect of co-pay program.

Survey respondents indicated that co-pay programs and patient assistance are by far the leading program elements contributing to initial product selection.

The client had, in fact, removed all income restrictions from its co-pay program six months prior.

Yet, only 3% of survey respondents were aware of the “no income restriction” aspect, despite significant investment in the design and rollout of the enhanced co-pay program.
