VOPA provides projected, patient-centric payer data at three different levels – PBM, corporate, or plan – and includes Medicare Part D plans.
Key Measures
In addition to traditional projected prescription metrics like new prescriptions and total prescriptions, VOPA gives you the ability to analyze:
- Patient out-of-pocket costs in cost increments you build
- Average out-of-pocket cost
- Drug-switching activity at the plan level
- True Patient Measures™ (TPM), namely:
- New patients
- Switch/add patients
- Continuing patients
- Claims by different plan types, including Medicare D
Methods
Data source:
- Through agreements with a variety of data providers, the SDI data warehouse receives 2 billion prescription claims per year. Prescription data samples included from nearly 59,000 pharmacies (over 99% in the U.S.).
- Vector One® is SDI’s projected prescription and patient-centric database. This is the only database of its kind that produces both projected NRx/TRx counts and, optionally, projected TPM at all levels of aggregation, including physician, territory, district, state, region, and national levels. Data can be aggregated from the physician to the national level. TPM permits you to view the difference between new prescriptions and “true” new patients. Additionally, TPM permits you to view the rate at which patients switch therapies within the broad market. SDI currently offers several products from the Vector One database, including national, prescriber, and payer offerings. Custom data also may be generated from this database.
What business questions does this product answer?
- How does my product’s share change when TPM is applied?
- Where does my product fall as far as patient out-of-pocket cost compared to competitors at my key accounts?
- What is the average out-of-pocket cost for my drug at a payer level?
- Is my product performing differently at a corporate payer compared to its regional affiliates? What about a PBM vs. its affiliated plans?
- From what competitor is my product gaining or losing business at a particular payer?
- How is Medicare D impacting my product?
