Payers Worry About High Costs, Low Evidence for Gene Therapies

So far, the FDA has approved eight cell and gene therapies, but the agency is expected to approve several more medications in those classes in the next few years. That has caused concern for payers because such medications have high costs and limited clinical evidence, according to speakers who participated in an Avalere Health webinar on May 25.

As such, the federal government, PBMs, health insurers and other payers are testing innovative ways to reimburse hospitals, providers and pharmaceutical companies for administering cell and gene therapies.
