Rewarding Results: Moving Forward on Value-Based Contracting for Biopharmaceuticals

View NEHI's Value-Based Contracting Microsite

The shift under way in payment in US health care - from volume to value - has sparked interest in new contracting arrangements to pay for prescription drugs. The objective of these new arrangements is to reward successful outcomes of medication use in patients, rather than pay based on the volume of drugs sold. These value-based contracts represent one approach to managing drug costs and obtaining better value for money spent. However, achieving the full potential of these contracts will necessitate regulatory and other changes.

NEHI's white paper outlines the opportunities for, and obstacles to, value-based contracting, and provides reccomendations for moving foward.
