Industry Trends
Because ICORE is at the center of injectable drug management, we truly understand that specialty drug trends are affecting every facet of the health care industry.
Specialty injectables are used by less than one percent of the patient population, but they comprise approximately 20 percent of medical costs. The cost to health plans is approximately $120 million per one million lives. Escalating costs, largely due to new product development, are trending at approximately 17 to 22 percent annually.
