"You can't fake it with managed markets, especially in 2014," said Seth Gordon, the company lead for FronTier Managed Markets and a Managing Partner at the Access Group. "In order to truly help clients navigate everything from coinsurance to the nuances in restrictions and benefit designs, you need a strong experiential set in this space, coupled with best-in-class clinical, policy, copy, and creative ideation.  We are able to provide that with FronTier Managed Markets and better prepare our clients for what lies ahead in the US reimbursement space."

Bioeclipse Delivers Access and Reimbursement Roadmaps for Biotechnology and Oncology Specialty Drugs
The biopharma and oncology treatments reaching the market today are new and novel agents that fill vast unmet needs with tremendous promise for all stakeholders involved in a patient's care. Manufacturers of these products require expertise to prepare for market launch so that they can optimize access and reimbursement. Bioeclipse offers a deep and complete understanding of the complex needs and evolving issues in the specialty, biologic, and oncologic marketplaces to deliver results-driven solutions in all the payer customer channels.

"With more than 600 new molecular compounds already in or entering into phase 3 in the oncology development area, coupled with the fact that soon more than 60% of a health plan's budget will be allotted to pay for specialty and oncologic agents in the next few years, it is an exciting time to launch a new entity devoted to this unique space," said Mike Webster, the company lead for Bioeclipse and a Managing Partner at the Access Group. "Issues such as clinical pathways, restrictions to specific patient populations, specialty pharmacy distribution, and benefit-to-cost analyses will soon be the 'new norm' for pharma. Having a company like Bioeclipse allows for the Access Group to remain on the cutting edge of reimbursement initiatives and the payer marketing world of tomorrow."
