International Reference Pricing (IRP or as also called ERP – External Reference Pricing ) may have a negative impact on your revenue and it could also limit patient access to your therapies. Do you plan launching a new product OR is it in-market already and want to be prepared for the price changes?
VERITY
IRP Master Tool helps you tackle this challenge through
Advanced launch sequence and sales optimisation
Powerful in-market price change mitigation
Realistic country-by-country predictions for price and net sales evolution while maximising patient access
What is the Verity IRP Master Tool?
Setting pricing strategy to optimise a drug’s value potential is one of the most important challenges for pharmaceutical companies today. This complex task requires an understanding of the multiple impacts that any price change might have on disparate markets linked through International Reference Pricing (IRP – also known as ERP: External Reference Pricing).
Akceso’s Verity IRP Master Tool simulates the effects of IRP providing you with high-level IRP simulations that show how changes in the price of a drug in one country could impact the price in other countries. It calculates the potential revenue impact, delivered through a web-based tool available anywhere, any time.
