Health Economics and Outcomes Research (HEOR) Services

HEOR Services That Turn Costs, Outcomes, and Comparisons Into One Value Story

Payers and HTA bodies want three answers: what your product costs, what it delivers, and how it compares with the alternatives. HEOR evidence covers all three, so your value case holds up in every reimbursement discussion.

Integrated HEOR capabilities

End-to-end HEOR support: from evidence plan to value story

Our healthcare domain experts, business consultants, and strategists offer support to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medtech clients in building economic models, evidence, and research around pricing, reimbursement, and positioning throughout the product life cycle.

HEOR Strategy Development

A strong value case is planned long before the submission. We assist you in shaping the evidence your product needs before launch to prepare for payer concerns, including how to develop evidence to support your value case.

Our services include:

  • Global and local evidence generation roadmaps
  • Evidence gap and data availability assessment
  • Value proposition and payer priority mapping
  • Lifecycle HEOR planning, from Phase II to post-launch

Economic and Budget Impact Modelling

To determine if a price reflects patient benefit, payers evaluate whether the budget is able to support the price. We develop clear and reliable models that demonstrate both, based on data and assumptions that withstand scrutiny.

Our services include:

  • Cost-effectiveness and cost-utility models
  • Budget impact models
  • Cost-minimization and cost-offset analyses
  • Adaptable models for country-specific HTA requirements

Real-World Evidence (RWE) Analysis

During clinical trials, the data is collected to confirm the efficacy and safety of a treatment under controlled conditions. We evaluate real-world data to assess the performance of a treatment in routine practice and address the gaps overlooked in the clinical trials.

Our services include:

  • Real-world data source assessment (EHRs, registries, claims)
  • Treatment pattern and burden-of-illness studies
  • Long-term outcomes and effectiveness analysis
  • RWE inputs for economic models and HTA submissions

Comparative Effectiveness Research

When a decision maker considers your product, they compare it to what they are already using. We develop detailed comparative reports to position your treatment even when trial information on comparators is not available.

Our services include:

  • Systematic and targeted literature reviews
  • Indirect treatment comparisons and network meta-analyses
  • Comparator and endpoint alignment
  • Patient-reported outcomes and quality-of-life evidence

Value Communication

Although the supporting evidence for your product is clear to you, it may be hard for the payers, HTA assessors, and clinicians to see the value. We simplify complex evidence for them.

Our services include:

  • Global value dossiers and payer evidence packs
  • Value narrative and key messaging
  • Materials for payer and stakeholder engagement

Evidence That Counts

Value is judged on more than efficacy

Healthcare systems are under pressure to provide improved outcomes for citizens at reduced costs. Decision makers consider effectiveness, cost, and quality of life simultaneously, and they seek HEOR evidence that reflects real-world care, not just the results of trials.

We bring health economics and outcomes research (HEOR), real-world evidence, scientific research, and strategic communication together in one team. Every model, study, and message tells the same story, in every market you enter.

Our Strategic Approach

Four Moves That Build a Credible Value Case

Products rarely struggle for lack of data. Instead, they struggle with facts that don't address the questions raised by payers. We take this into consideration when creating our HEOR evidence and strategy.

Define the Value Question

We design evidence based on the feedback from payers and HTAs, then identify gaps and bring together all available evidence, including real-world and published evidence.

Gather the Right Evidence

We bring evidence sources including trial data, real-world data, and published literature into a single evidence base and flag gaps as they occur.

Model It Transparently

We design HEOR models and comparators built on clear, testable, and defensible assumptions that reviewers can trust.

Communicate It Clearly

Findings translated into dossiers, publications, and messages that make the value case easy to understand and hard to dispute.

What Sets Us Apart?

Integrated HEOR, Evidence, and Communication

Health economic modelling, real-world evidence, literature reviews, and value communications are performed by a single, aligned team; keeping data, assumptions, and narrative consistent.

Real-World Evidence, Built Into the HEOR Case

We prefer real-world data, used to strengthen economic models and address uncertainty.

One HEOR Evidence Base, Many Markets

A core evidence base and models are built to be adapted to local payer/HTA needs, eliminating duplication of efforts for each new submission.

Expert-led Delivery

Our team of 20+ professionals, including PhD holders and domain experts, with deep HEOR, health economics, and market access knowledge.

Win the reimbursement conversation with the right evidence

Tell us your product, target markets, or the value question you need to answer. We will come back with a clear view of the evidence you need, where you stand on the evidence continuum, and where to best focus first.

Thank you. Your request has been received.

HEOR reflects the worth of a treatment from a clinical, financial, and patient-centric perspective. It provides decision-makers with the real value of a treatment compared to alternatives.

HEOR supports market access and reimbursement by providing payers and HTAs evidence to cover or price a product. HEOR services provide detailed evidence through economic models, comparative analyses, real-world studies, and value dossiers.

The best time to plan HEOR studies is during the clinical development phase, as you can still shape trial design, comparators, and endpoints around what payers will ask for, and fix evidence gaps while it's possible.

A cost-effectiveness model assesses whether the price of an intervention is justified by the benefit, while a budget impact model assesses the financial impact on the adoption of the intervention on the payer's budget.

Clinical trials show the efficacy and safety of an intervention in a controlled environment. Real-world evidence, on the other hand, shows what happens in routine practice: long-term outcomes, treatment patterns, and questions the trial couldn't answer.

Almost always. As the majority of interventions are not evaluated in comparative effectiveness trials against all their competitors. Indirect treatment comparisons and network meta-analyses help estimate the position of an intervention relative to the competitors.
