WHITE PAPER
Warranty Model: A potential precision financing solution for durable cell and gene therapies
Durable cell and gene therapies are poised for rapid growth—posing transformative benefits for patients and exacerbating financial challenges for payers, providers, patients, and developers by disrupting the classic ‘pay-as-you-go’ drug payment paradigms. FoCUS investigated a new warranty solution that not only addresses performance risk challenges, but also reduces data aggregation complexity and contains Medicaid Best Price exposure, thus providing risk sharing flexibility between payers and developers.

FoCUS Virtual Design Lab explores Precision Financing Solutions for large populations and RWE implementation
On October 15th and 16th, FoCUS hosted a Virtual Design Lab, an online implementation of NEWDIGS’s unique case study solution design methodology. 80 participants from across the healthcare sector collaborated to extend Precision Financing Solutions to large populations using a disease area case study and a Medicare Fee for Service case study. Both days featured presentations and discussions about the role of Real World Evidence (RWE) in making new cell and gene therapies accessible and sustainable. The Design Lab also featured an update to NEWDIGS research on the new therapy pipeline.
