At this years World Evidence, Pricing and Access event, Girisha Fernando, the CEO of Lyfegen, expressed excitement as he spoke about the company’s latest launched offering - the Lyfegen Model & Agreement Library. This unique learning resource is a true game-changer that builds upon the company’s existing product. It expands our horizons by allowing payers and market access & pricing professionals to explore over 2’500 real-life public agreements, and 18 drug pricing models from around the world. The library provides an unparalleled understanding of drug reimbursement models that help users make better informed choices like never before.
Selecting a drug reimbursement model is very complex, as manufacturers want quick market access, while payers may have many concerns, such as a drug’s efficacy and affordability. Fernando emphasized that the library bridges the gap by assisting payers and market access professionals in finding specific models that address each stakeholder’s concerns, and key real-life agreement examples, resulting in better-informed decision-making, and ultimately more efficient reimbursement processes.
“Because of rising healthcare costs and the increase of medical innovations, the thirst for knowledge and need for value-based healthcare capabilities has surged among healthcare payers and pharma companies across the world”, said Fernando, “That is why we are excited about launching the world’s largest database of real-world value-based agreements. It gives payers and pharma a unique insight into how to structure value-based agreements.”
But that’s not all – Fernando explained that the database is constantly evolving, being updated weekly with new public agreements, allowing stakeholders to be up to date on public agreements.
Overall, it is clear that the Lyfegen Model & Agreement Library is an invaluable groundbreaking tool, that is becoming indispensable in increasing the knowledge on drug and Cell & Gene Therapy reimbursement.

Managing drug rebates effectively is critical for ensuring financial sustainability while maintaining patient access to essential treatments. With the rising complexity of rebate agreements and the increasing administrative burden on payers and healthcare systems, selecting the right drug rebate management solution is more important than ever. In this blog, we’ll explore key factors to consider when choosing a solution and how Lyfegen’s advanced rebate management platform can streamline the process and optimize financial performance.
The pharmaceutical industry is shifting towards more intricate pricing and reimbursement models, with value-based agreements, outcome-driven pricing, and performance-based contracts becoming the norm. As a result, healthcare payers and providers need robust systems to accurately track, claim, and optimize rebates.
Traditional rebate management processes—often manual and reliant on spreadsheets—are inefficient and prone to errors, leading to missed rebate opportunities and financial leakage. A modern rebate management solution should offer automation, transparency, and scalability to address these challenges effectively.
When evaluating rebate management solutions, payers and healthcare organizations should prioritize the following features:
Ensuring that all rebates are accurately calculated and claimed according to contract terms is fundamental. Many organizations miss out on significant rebate revenue due to errors in claim tracking, missed deadlines, or lack of visibility into agreement terms. A robust rebate management solution should offer real-time tracking, validation checks, and automated claim submissions to ensure full compliance and minimize financial losses.
Manual rebate processing is time-consuming, resource-intensive, and susceptible to human error. Automating rebate management can significantly reduce administrative costs while improving efficiency and accuracy. The right solution should provide automated data input, mapping, reconciliation, and dispute resolution, ensuring that rebates are processed smoothly without manual intervention.
Managing multiple rebate agreements across different pharmaceutical manufacturers, products, and therapeutic areas can be overwhelming. A centralized platform allows users to track, update, and analyze agreements in one place, offering a structured repository for easy access to contract details, claims history, and invoicing records. This reduces the risk of mismanagement and enhances visibility across departments.
Effective rebate management requires seamless collaboration between payers, manufacturers, and internal teams. A robust solution should offer secure data-sharing capabilities while maintaining privacy compliance. Role-based access control, encrypted transmissions, and audit trails help ensure that sensitive financial and patient data is protected while enabling necessary stakeholders to access relevant information when needed.
Beyond rebate tracking, a solution should provide actionable insights through analytics and forecasting. Organizations need visibility into past trends and future rebate expectations to make informed financial decisions. A comprehensive platform should offer reporting dashboards, real-time financial modeling, and historical data comparisons to support strategic planning and contract negotiations.
Choosing the right rebate management solution is not just about compliance and automation—it’s about unlocking financial opportunities and maximizing the impact of negotiated agreements. Lyfegen’s Rebate Analytics Platform (ARA) is designed to:
