Prices are calculated from commercial claims data from the Truven (formerly Thomson Reuters) MarketScan Research databases. The MarketScan databases capture person-specific clinical utilization, expenditures, and enrollment from a selection of large employers, health plans, and government and public organizations. The annual medical databases include private sector health data from approximately 100 payers. Claims data was compiled by Deloitte Consulting LLP on behalf of Kaiser Permanente Health Plan. Any opinions or conclusions expressed herein regarding the data are not those of Deloitte Consulting LLP. Because a broad range of prices were available, the national 25th percentile (low), average, and 95th percentile were calculated. Prices represent allowed charges, which are the negotiated rates for which providers receive payment. Allowed charges include both patient cost sharing and health plan payment.
Cataract surgery price represents the price for outpatient procedures. The angioplasty and appendectomy prices reflect a blend of inpatient and outpatient prices based on relative utilization in each setting.
The patent for Lipitor expired on November 30, 2011. This has an impact on the drug’s unit cost, and data show a rapid drop in volume and a gradual reduction in price for the branded version of this drug throughout 2012. The price in this report was calculated based on the same process as the other drug benchmarks, but incorporated an adjustment factor to reflect the impact on price of patent expiration. Prices may decline further over time, and the utilization of the drugs may also continue to decline as generic substitutes gain market share.
United Kingdom
Prices are public sector prices from the National Health Service (NHS) and the British National Formulary drug price listings.
