Abstract

In This Issue.

In the fourth quarter of 2005, governments in several of the world's leading pharmaceutical markets prepared the ground for major reforms to their drug pricing and reimbursement systems. The United States readied itself for the January 2006 launch of the new Medicare Part D outpatient prescription drug benefit, and a leading pharmacy benefit management company made news with plans to stimulate greater use of generics. The governments of France, Germany, Spain, and Japan all prepared legislation that would introduce major new cost-containment mechanisms into their respective health care systems. The Italian government, however, undertook little in the way of new cost-cutting activity. The U.K. government unveiled measures to expedite access to innovative drugs (especially cancer therapies) and to extend new prescribing powers to qualified nurses and pharmacists. In this report, we review major events in the fourth quarter of 2005 in the pharmaceutical pricing, reimbursement, and prescribing environment in the aforementioned countries and the European Union. We focus on measures that health care payers are using to curb their drug expenditures and to improve patient access to medications. We conclude with an assessment of the outlook and implications for the pharmaceutical industry.
