Coverage with evidence development, only in research, risk sharing or patient access scheme? A framework for coverage decisions

Research output: Book/ReportOther report

Abstract

Until recently, purchasers’ options regarding whether to pay for the use of technologies have been binary in nature: a treatment is covered or not covered. However, policies have emerged which expand the options - for example, linking coverage to evidence development, an option increasingly used for new treatments with limited/uncertain evidence. There has been little effort to reconcile the features of technologies with the available options in a way that reflects purchasers’ ranges of authority
