Key findings indicate that large employers are the primary target, with a range of disease states being addressed according to specific employer requirements.
![Sample Finding: The Employer Market Opportunity
Employer Market executives and practitioners often exhibit a kind of missionary zeal
when talking about their work and the value of programs and initiatives directed at
employers.
The employer market represents an alternative and complementary
approach to the current commercial model
Another way to offset problems of reduced access
In keeping with new emphasis on payors, plans, and formularies
“It’s not about drug dispensing anymore; it’s about healthcare.”
As the “real” payers, employers are assuming a more active role in
healthcare decision making
“The writing was on the wall that employers, large employers, were
making significant decisions relative to the benefit designs that they have
and actually getting down to the product level.”
“Well, it's just follow the dollar, right? Basic economics. Healthcare costs
are not just a blip on their [employers’] P&L anymore. They're digging
into what they're paying for and what they're getting and seeing the costs
go up, but not necessarily what they're getting in return for it. Employer
market executives believe this is a critical area.”
