Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that pharmaceutical industry representatives believe are important in the drug benefit decisions of MCOs. Respondents indicated that a drug's clinical features and acquisition cost were the most important factors in making drug-coverage decisions. Ninety percent of respondents indicated that they provide some type of pharmacoeconomic data on either some or almost every visit with their customers. Twenty (95%) of 21 respondents thought that current pharmacoeconomic information was helpful to MCOs in making drug benefit decisions. However, 80% thought important barriers existed to using health outcome and pharmacoeconomic data.
