Event Synopsis:
In today’s changing and competitive pharmaceutical market, creative contract pricing scenarios are a necessity. However, the significant number of pricing variables faced by manufacturers quickly surpasses what manual systems can accurately or efficiently handle. High volumes of chargeback submissions and complex, multi-tier, conditional rebate structures undermine profitability by eroding margins and introducing compliance vulnerabilities. In this customer case study, Revitas will join forces with thought leaders from Deloitte Consulting and Sidley Austin LLP to explore the contracting issues that the client faced to effectively and precisely manage chargeback and rebate obligations. This case study will explore:
• How to identify chargeback and rebating exposures
• Why you are probably losing more money on margin than you realized
• Best practices for eliminating weak links in the pharmaceutical value chain
• The benefits of an end-to-end solution for contracting, pricing, and compliance needs
