ABOUT THE COALITION
Patients & providers deserve a voice.
Patients and providers are working to focus policy discussions on quality, patient-centered care.
The Value of Care Coalition:
Elevates patients’ and providers’ perspectives in state policy conversations
Develops educational resources on state-level processes and their impact on care
Raises public awareness about medication access and affordability decisions
Shapes state-level policy decisions about affordability, access and innovation
Some policy approaches overlook what matters to patients and providers.
One example is prescription drug affordability boards.
These state-level organizations:
- Analyze the cost of prescription drugs to reduce spending, often limiting access in the process
- Make recommendations that apply to commercial, state and Medicaid health plans
- Include state-appointed experts in health care and economics
- Rely more on health economics data than on input from patients and providers
- Lean on discriminatory and one-size-fits-all metrics
- Target medications that help patients living with debilitating medical conditions
