Prime Therapeutics and Biogen have partnered on an outcomes-based contract for several MS drugs as part of Prime's CareCentered Contract program.
Prime's CareCentered Contract is one of Biogen's pilot outcomes-based contracts for its MS drugs, and the only pilot with a national payer. This contract places accountability on Biogen to deliver safety, efficacy, and value for the patients who receive these life-impacting therapies and for the payers who finance them.
"With increasing use of specialty medications for complicated diseases, it's extremely important to make sure members are staying on track with their drug therapy regimen," said Jonathan Gavras, M.D., chief medical officer at Prime. "Using outcomes data under the pharmacy and medical benefits, Prime can structure these types of drug-specific contracts to help align price to clinical value for our clients and improve health outcomes for members. We appreciate Biogen's collaboration and willingness to back their products' effectiveness."
