Market Access and Supply Chain Design
Carefully planning the distribution of your drug across all applicable access points is essential in the success of your launch in the outpatient or ambulatory sector. Whether you are promoting an anti-infective or a biotech drug, Healix can collaborate with you to identify the most effective market access strategy and corresponding supply chain design. Traditional distribution can impede or prevent physician office or ambulatory center access. Actively pursue higher market penetration outside of home infusion and specialty pharmacies.
In order to ensure patients have access to your medication in an ambulatory infusion center, Healix can provide a plan to achieve the following:
- Clinical efficacy in the outpatient setting
- Stability after preparation in ambulatory devices (elastomeric, bags, etc.)
- Average Sale Price (ASP) cost metrics to ensure adequate cost coverage
- J-Code unit of measure to avoid claim rejections and cost appeals
- Distribution method to allow for portability between wholesale and distributor models
- Exclusive/preferred formulary status for the product
- Data services, including tracing reporting and portal services
Healix will help you address each critical item to prepare for a successful launch in the ambulatory sector.

- Dispensing
- Diagnosis (ICD9) codes
- Administration method
- Payer trends: drug co-pays, deductibles, and co-insurance, as well as office visit co-pays and co-insurance
- Recertification rates and prior authorization rates
