Also called: Gross-to-Net Revenue Analyst, Rebate & Chargeback Analyst
Figures out how much a drug company really earns after the huge rebates and discounts it pays to insurers, Medicaid and pharmacies.
A drug's list price is $600, but after rebates to insurers, Medicaid and discount programs, the company keeps far less. You forecast those deductions for each quarter, set aside money for future rebate bills and explain to leaders why sales look great but profit doesn't. Then a new pricing law changes your model.
