This role involves providing proactive, business-oriented legal and compliance advice on market access, pricing, and reimbursement strategies for pharmaceutical and biologic products. The position offers the flexibility to work remotely, allowing for a dynamic and adaptable work environment.
Key responsibilities include advising on government pricing and reporting obligations, such as Medicaid Best Price, AMP, ASP, 340B, and VA/FSS, and assessing the impact of commercial contracting strategies on these obligations. The role also involves supporting coverage, coding, and reimbursement initiatives in partnership with market access, HEOR, trade/channel, and pricing teams. Additionally, the lawyer will draft, review, negotiate, and advise on a broad range of market access-related agreements, including PBM, payer, GPO, wholesaler, specialty pharmacy, distribution, discount, rebate, and value-based/outcomes-based contracts. Counseling on the design and implementation of patient support programs, co-pay assistance, and related arrangements, with attention to anti-kickback and False Claims Act risk, is also a key aspect of the role.
The ideal candidate will have 5–8 years of experience as an attorney in a law firm and/or in-house with a pharmaceutical or biopharmaceutical company, with a significant focus on market access, pricing, reimbursement, and/or government price reporting. Experience drafting and negotiating PBM, payer, GPO, wholesaler, rebate, and other market access-related agreements is essential. Prior experience counseling on legal issues relating to advertising and promotion, scientific exchange, patient support programs, and interactions with healthcare professionals and payers is also required. Strong knowledge of statutes, regulations, and guidance applicable to commercial and market access activities, including the FDCA and FDA regulations, federal and state anti-kickback statutes, OIG guidance documents, the False Claims Act, and the PhRMA Code, is necessary.
