Business Overview

Our client is a Managed Markets Insight & Technology (MMIT) company that provides marketing insights for pharmaceutical manufacturers, insurance companies, and providers in the US healthcare industry. The client combines deep domain expertise around drug development, manufacturing, and use covered under the medical benefits with innovative technology and analyzed data from different sources to answer critical business questions. MMIT data is acquired through a combination of direct partnerships with payers, as well as technology infrastructure, AI, and human validation.

It empowers pharmaceutical companies with a clear market view to create effective marketing campaigns, streamline sales, and gain a competitive edge. Moreover, US physicians confide in MMIT data when prescribing drugs for patients, providing more efficient treatment.

Insight: US Insurance Market Specifics

American insurance implies that treatment regimens, including drugs, are strictly regulated in particular insurance plans. Each insurance company has a regulated list of medications for each disease and illness they are willing to cover. 

Some drugs have limiting factors, such as step therapy—a process used by health insurers to control costs. It requires patients to try one or more medications specified by the insurance company—typically a generic (analog) one—to treat a health condition. The generic version is always cheaper than the original medication because the company did not invest a lot of money to develop the formula. If the generic version does not help, the insurance company pays for the original drug.

There is also a prior authorization—a set of actions the patient must perform before he can take a drug. The insurance company regulates the procedure for patients to complete all the necessary tests—for instance, five types of blood tests, MRI, ultrasound, etc.—required for further prescribing of medication by doctors.
