Gross-To-Net: Challenges and Best Practices

The application of clinical pathways and their enforcement through quality metric benchmark setting and appropriate use criteria is needed to guard against perverse financial incentives that encourage overutilization and underutilization. Moving forward, the more diligent payers and integrated delivery networks can be in evaluating and incorporating utilization criteria when establishing clinical pathways, the better off our system will be.

Due to current market dynamics and existing policies, payers and at-risk providers have their own financial incentives that may be contrary to that of society, as well as patients, in terms of clinical outcomes. Clinical pathways are typically built to guide clinicians to prescribe the most appropriate treatment to optimize clinical and financial outcomes. However, clinical pathways can also be used to ensure provider and payer incentives are aligned and reinforce what is best for patients and members via the lens of population health.
