The Perils of Pull-Through

The Perils of Pull-Through

A new drug has made it to the insurer’s formulary, but will providers actually prescribe it?
Pull-through challenges abound; getting physicians to prescribe a therapy means training and coordinating field staff, encouraging pharmacies to stock and recommend the medication, educating patients, and more. Then there’s the challenge of measuring success – what does successful pull-through look like anyway?
Most market access teams at pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturers have the same problem: evidence of clinical effectiveness isn’t always enough to affect prescribing behavior, often due to – accurate or misperceived – affordability concerns.
Is there anything manufacturers can do to positively impact pull-through for their products?

In this episode of the IDI Podcast, Jack Timko, Senior Principal, Valuate Health Consultancy, discusses the perils of pull-through in market access and shares how data may be the answer.

“The inability to ‘pull through’ a prescription, despite HCP field team engagement and educational efforts, has remained a top concern of our clients during my 15 years in the market access space,” says Timko.
