YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Reimbursement pathways demand a compelling value story
- The statutory basic insurance scheme covers over 18 million people, yet new medicines still face reimbursement, affordability and hospital-budget hurdles.
- Linking evidence to local decision criteria, YCP shapes pricing, access and stakeholder strategies that support credible reimbursement discussions.
Payer concentration reshapes launch and contracting plans
- Four insurer groups account for roughly 85% of the health-insurance market, making payer alignment critical to formulary access and uptake.
- That concentration calls for focused engagement; YCP develops account priorities, negotiation narratives and activation roadmaps for key payers.
Medicine shortages put continuity and trust at risk
- Drug shortages affected 1,563 products in 2024, requiring pharmacies and providers to switch treatments, inform patients and protect continuity.
- To turn disruption into resilience, YCP maps supply risks, builds mitigation playbooks and coordinates communications across priority accounts.
An ageing population raises the bar for adoption
- More than 20% of Dutch residents are aged 65 or older, increasing demand for chronic-care solutions and reinforcing scrutiny of treatment value.
- As care needs evolve, YCP refines segmentation, patient journeys and channel models to build relevant, sustainable commercial growth.
