When Pediatric Access Risked Delays, We Prepared the Market Ahead of Launch.

THE CHALLENGE

Expanding Access to a New Pediatric Population Without Delaying Launch

A biopharmaceutical company launched a treatment for adults with narcolepsy, achieving strong coverage and pull-through with sleep specialists.

Ahead of a pediatric indication, the company needed to avoid unnecessary denials or access delays at launch. Payers would need to evaluate prior authorization requirements for a new pediatric population, while many prescribers were less familiar with treatment and approval pathways.

THE BREAKTHROUGH

Shifting Access Preparation Upstream to Remove Friction at Launch

Using our Breakthrough Process, powered by 3D Science, BGBx Market Access identified that access risk was driven not by policy alone, but by a lack of early alignment across payers and prescribers.

The strategy shifted access preparation upstream, ensuring prior authorization expectations, prescribing workflows, and access pathways were clearly defined before launch to reduce friction at the point of prescribing.

The Solution

Pre-Approval Information Exchange enabled payers to anticipate pediatric PA requests
HCP communications clarified prior authorization requirements and approval pathways
Field reimbursement and hub support provided targeted guidance to support PA approval

Perspective

“Shifting access preparation upstream allowed us to align key stakeholders early, streamline prior authorization, and support uptake at launch.”
