Which rebate is a fixed or % discount for formulary placement or tier status?

• A. Drug Rebates
• B. Access Rebate
• C. Net Price
• D. Performance Rebate

Answer: (B)

Access rebates are discounts negotiated specifically to improve a drug’s access on a formulary or to secure a preferred tier status. They can be a fixed amount per unit or a percentage off the price, and the goal is to persuade payers to place the drug on the formulary or at a more favorable tier, boosting patient access and payer acceptance.

Drug rebates are general price reductions from manufacturers to payers and aren’t necessarily tied to formulary placement. Net price is the final price after all rebates and discounts, not a distinct rebate type. Performance rebates depend on meeting specific outcomes or usage metrics and also aren’t about securing formulary access or tier status.
