New type of price measurement for medical services: Interest of a cost sensitivity index for a research agenda on pharmaceutical models

Authors: Huttin, Christine C.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: This paper aims to propose a new methodological agenda for new price measurement for medical services; it is based on a cost sensitivity index coming from series of pilot studies on physicians, in order to provide adjustment methods to household surveys for health care expenditure budgets. The use of stated-revealed preference models with inclusion of stated preference studies is proposed with an example on a physician cost sensitivity study in Europe; it could also help the ISPOR task for force best practices in conjoint study designs.

Keywords: Conjoint analysis, stated revealed preference model, pharmaceutical pricing
