Integrated Delivery Networks

QUESTION

How should the growing power of IDNs and the move towards risk based contracting with providers affect your strategy and approach to contracting with payers?

ANSWER
Provider organizations that have a high level of control or responsibility for the cost of care are likely to exert more influence over the pull-through of contracts with payers for formulary placement. It is important to understand when payer contracts may be more challenging to pull through because of powerful IDNs within a payer’s network.

RESOURCES

Health Plans and PBMs

QUESTION

What are payers doing to assert their position in the market and gain control by vertically integrating with PBMs and physician organizations?

ANSWER
MCOs are joining with PBMs and physician organizations. Examples include CVS/Aetna, UnitedHealth/OptumRX/DaVita, and Cigna/Express Scripts.  Achieving greater scale and cutting out middlemen should allow companies like CVS Health to cut medication costs in the short term, as they’ll enjoy greater leverage over the drug and device companies across the table and can realize efficiencies when they control the point of care, the means of distribution and the purse strings.

RESOURCES

Value Based Contracting

QUESTION

How does the move towards value based care impact your approach to engaging payers and providers that control benefit design and delivery of care?

ANSWER
It is important to engage with risk-bearing providers – and the payers with whom they contract – regarding the value of drug therapies and the evidence for the effectiveness of those drugs. As the healthcare industry moves away from the fee-for-service model, it is critical to understand how payers and providers approach cost and quality.
