Hepatitis C Pricing model visual simulation
The tool below allows to visualize the impact of various pricing strategies for a Direct Acting Antiviral Drug
​
This simulation considers the 10 year economics of a hypothetical payer responsible for 100K patients with the HCV virus. It shows what the cost of this payer would be without DAA treatment (red-yellow colors) and with the availability of DAA (green, blue, grey colors).
​
The purpose of this simulation is mostly pedagogical: helping understand the impact of changing the pricing model from a per patient upfront to a per population over time. Numbers have been rounded intentionally e.g. $2B total spend over 10 years, in order to make comparisons easy. This is representative of the economics of a payer in a developed country like the US, Japan or EU countries.

This data was developed in a partnership between BCG and the Center for Disease Analysis Foundation. It is designed to be viewed on a larger screen.

In PRICE views, this toggle allows to chose between scenari with two different pricing models​
The DAA drug is paid 'Per Patient' at the time of treatment. This is the default in PRICE/PATIENT view
The DAA drug is paid as a subscription for the Population of patients over 10 years. All patients in that population have access to the treatment. This is the default in PRICE/TIME view
This view summarizes the value distribution and patient cure rate of four scenarios
-
Static economics: single price point over 10 years maximizing drug revenues
-
Low price: single price point maximizing patient treatment
-
Current trajectory: price per patient decreasing over time as of 2018 in US
-
'Netflix model': ten year subscription priced per population
