Developing a Winning Medicare Part D Strategy

Medicare Part D is the Perfect Storm.

The confluence of major market trends is creating the ingredients for a “Perfect Storm” for the domestic healthcare market, including:

• A large and growing elderly population
• A host of diseases whose prevalence increases with age
• Dramatically changing drug coverage structure
• Confusing patient cost tiering
• Uncertainty of participant response to the Medicare Part D program

With so many uncertainties and potentially huge impact on the marketplace, pharmaceutical companies need to understand the long-term implications of their Medicare Part D contracting strategy. While 2006 promises to be a turbulent year with many surprises, now is the time to develop strategies that will maximize revenue and profits over the longer term.
