Specialty Healthcare Benefits Council

On behalf of the Specialty
Healthcare Benefits Council, I would like to highlight our mission and invite your collaboration.
As the development of specialty health products and services increases, we see the parallel need for responsible accountability. We seek to ensure utilization is appropriate and clinically sound. By bringing together the community of stakeholders, we look to provide pathways to allow sustainable use of these products. And as the marketplace evolves, we seek to define future benefit options, distribution systems, and management tools to weave together the benefit systems that deliver the right product to the right patient at the right time. Effective use of specialty health products and services occurs only when value is clear and consistent with scientific evidence. We seek value through the balance of cost, access, and quality. As a nonprofit organization, we provide a forum for collaboration among payers, developers, vendors, and supporters in this dynamic marketplace.
