智通财经APP获悉,辉瑞(PFE.US)和百时美施贵宝(BMY.US)宣布,自9月8日起,患者可通过新推出的"Eliquis 360 Support"平台直接以每月346美元现金购买其联合开发的抗凝血药物Eliquis。这一价格较美国市场常规药价低40%,但仍高于拜登政府去年通过《通胀削减法案》谈判确定的2026年医保定价——届时医疗保险患者每月自付费用将降至231美元。
两家药企在联合声明中强调,该定价方案在与白宫保持密切沟通后制定。此前,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普多次公开呼吁制药公司降低药品价格。百时美施贵宝首席执行官克里斯托弗·博尔纳表示:"这项计划将切实节省患者开支,展现我们通过创新方案实现普惠医疗的决心。"
值得注意的是,该现金支付方案的实际受益人群可能有限。据百时美施贵宝披露,当前超过90%的Eliquis使用患者已通过各类医疗保险覆盖用药费用。
此次定价策略调整标志着大型药企在政策压力下开始探索多元化支付模式。通过建立官方直购渠道,药企既能维持对终端价格的管控权,又可规避中间商加价问题。随着《通胀削减法案》逐步落地,未来更多专利药或效仿此模式,构建政府定价与商业渠道并行的双轨支付体系。
