ICER Report Aims to Nudge Payers Toward Fairer Drug Coverage Policies
In a new analysis that assesses whether major formularies provide “fair access” to select prescription drugs, payers achieved high scores in most categories. But industry observers as well as the organization behind the report, the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER), say that conclusion may not be the most important takeaway.
ICER — which is best known for its assessments of prescription drugs’ cost-effectiveness — says in a press release that “one of the most notable results of this effort is the change in coverage policies made by five payers for 11 drugs following receipt of draft results of the assessment.”
