26 Pharmaceutical Pricing

27 Manufacturer Pricing of Prescription Drugs Each type of prescription drug generally has its own pricing pattern: Patented Single Source Innovative Drug with no therapeutic competitors Patented Single Source Innovative Drug with therapeutic competitors Patented Line Extension Off patent brand name drug Multisource generic pharmaceuticals

28 Manufacturing Discounting Brand manufacturers generally discount to purchasers who move marketshare for therapeutic alternates certain settings have tighter control over pharmaceutical use through drug formularies chains and independent retail pharmacies have traditionally purchased pharmaceuticals at relatively the same prices no reason for manufacturer to discount if retail pharmacy has to dispense the product as written by physician BUT pharmacists do much of the marketshare movement work for PBMs
