Paying for Cures is an initiative of the FoCUS Project at MIT
FoCUS seeks to collaboratively address the need for new, innovative financing and reimbursement models for durable therapies that ensure patient access and sustainability for all stakeholders. This multi-stakeholder effort unites developers, providers, regulators, patient advocacy groups, payers from all segments of the US healthcare system, and academics working in healthcare policy, financing, and reimbursement.
FoCUS research and design
- Engaged cross-sector, multi-stakeholder group to identify challenges and cooperatively design sustainable solutions
- Analyzed drug pipeline to understand scale of the challenge
- Described system of “Cure Archetypes” and how different kinds of healthcare payers can support them
- Designed and served as a catalyst for Precision Financing pilots to test real-world application
