Overview

Aventine Consulting is a firm specializing in market access dossiers designed to scientifically and effectively demonstrate the value of a product to payers for the purpose of achieving optimal product reimbursement.

Often considered the fourth hurdle in a product’s US approval process, gaining reimbursement for licensed pharmaceuticals, biotechnology products, or medical technologies is critical to ensure success in the marketplace. While receiving product approval based on safety, efficacy, and quality from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) used to be sufficient for market access and reimbursement, this is no longer true. With US healthcare costs continuing to escalate, payers demand to see the value of a product in order to determine if and how it will be reimbursed among their members’ covered lives.

Aventine focuses on the development of US formulary submission dossiers (also referred to as AMCP dossiers) for the payer audience. Our team of highly accomplished PharmDs has years of experience and expertise developing dossiers for a wide range of products across diverse disease states and clinical settings. Because our team has past experience evaluating products for reimbursement and formulary inclusion from the US payer side of the access equation, we understand the needs of the payer audience and are able to leverage that knowledge in developing dossiers that are fit for purpose. Understanding our payer audience has been a cornerstone to our continued success.
