PANEL DISCUSSION: PRIVATE PAYERS’ PERSPECTIVE

Pathways to Access & Reimbursement for Private Payers

Continued tightening of access to private payer formularies combined with a move to outsource benefit plans and administration to third parties for some payers, means an increase in barriers to listings. Benefit plans are the pathway to accessing medications for almost two thirds of Canadians:

· Understand TELUS Health’s review process for managed formularies.

· Learn how pharma companies can better align their submissions to private payor needs.

· Gain insight into private group insurance plans and current trends

Learn about important processes being used to gain drug listing and understand how the private payer market in Canada is evolving.
