ICER's Patient Portal Explains How Patient Engagement Shapes Drug Pricing and Access Decisions

ICER's Patient Portal explains how the nonprofit research organization involves patients in evaluating treatments, developing reports, and considering fair drug pricing and access. ICER analyzes how well drugs work for patients and suggests prices that should reflect the benefits received by patients and families. The portal argues that manufacturers set drug prices while insurers determine access, often without patients participating in those decisions. Patient experiences can help ICER understand the daily effects of illness and how treatments make a difference. The page provides information about patient engagement, the Patient Council, ways to share a patient story, patient guides and summaries, FAQs, and contact details for ICER's Senior Director of Patient Engagement.
