EPR UNLIMITED – BRIEF EPR OVERVIEW AND PROGNOSIS, BULGARIAN PERSPECTIVE
Journal Title: Българско списание за обществено здраве (Bulgarian Journal of Public Health) - Year 2013, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
The debate over fare medicinal products pricing is one of the most contentious issues that emerges again within the EU countries. External price referencing (EPR) is used by many EU member states (and others) for the last years as a measure and tool to control marketed medicinal products’ prices. Authors’ strong believe is that although EPR tool embraces viable and progressive concepts is highly liberalized in its application into routine practice and hugely over utilised in Bulgaria (as well as in majority of EU member states), and that it is highly likely it will be long term ineffective. Authors briefly present the current status and ask the question “What is next?” At the end the likely future scenarios are discussed.
