International reference pricing in SyMAP
From launch planning
to in-market pricing.
Start with built-in IRP rulesets maintained by Symaptics. Model international price paths, compare scenarios and see the calculations behind each result.
Illustrative pricing connections using configured reference baskets and reviewed Middle Eastern, African and Asia-Pacific benchmarks. International markets feed the US MFN and GENEROUS benchmarks. IRP events connect the Netherlands, Greece, Portugal, France, Japan, Canada, Brazil, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, the Philippines and Taiwan; dotted links show Italy’s informal referencing and South Africa’s international benchmarking. Morocco shows its six fixed reference countries; an additional country-of-origin reference depends on the product. The Philippines illustrates reference baskets used for selected medicines under price caps; Taiwan illustrates its ten-market reimbursement reference basket. Assessments continue when their destination is beyond view, with visible reference-market flows travelling towards the horizon. Markets beyond the horizon remain in each basket. Animation timing is illustrative, not a calendar of national assessments. No real product prices are displayed.

International reference pricing capabilities
Built-in expertise.
Visible calculations.
Bring your product data and start with the IRP rulesets maintained by Symaptics. Explore launch prices and in-market exposure, with the country logic and calculations available to inspect.
Symaptics-maintained rulesets
Start with the rules in place.
Use built-in country reference baskets, formulas, matching and review timing. Apply the maintained rulesets to your product data and focus on the pricing question.
Launch IRP
Explore the price at market entry.
Model initial reference-price assessments and test alternative launch prices and dates. See how prices available in other markets shape the launch assessment and subsequent effects.
In-market IRP
Follow the price after launch.
Simulate reassessments, review cycles and the spread of price changes across markets. Explore scheduled price changes, withdrawals and loss of exclusivity over the product lifecycle.
Calculation transparency
See how each assessment is calculated.
Inspect the reference prices and contributing products, applied formula and calculated price. Follow the assessment outcome and effective date, including why a price change was not applied.
Inside SyMAP
Follow the price path.
Inspect the assessments behind it.
See how prices evolve across markets, then explore the launch events and in-market assessments behind the results. Follow the reference inputs, calculation and implementation outcome.
Inspect the workspace See the change on the timeline.
Follow list prices across ten markets. The tooltip highlights a Netherlands IRP reduction in April 2029, connecting an implemented assessment to its place on the price path.
Inspect the workspace Understand the price at market entry.
Inspect launch events for the Netherlands, Greece and Austria. See the before-and-after prices, percentage changes, applied formulas and the reference markets contributing to each result.
Inspect the workspace An assessment does not always mean a price change.
Review the calculated price alongside the implementation outcome. These assessments show applied reductions with effective dates, a calculated increase that was not implemented, and an unchanged price.

From reference pricing to commercial decisions
Compare the alternatives.
Understand the revenue implications.
Compare alternative pricing and launch scenarios, then examine a forecast’s revenue over time. Connect international price paths with demand and linked US MFN effects in the wider SyMAP platform.
Inspect the workspace What changes when the price or timing changes?
Compare saved simulations, run sensitivity series and find the threshold where a modelled outcome changes.
Inspect the workspace Connect the price path to the revenue outlook.
See monthly gross revenue by market in the Symara demo forecast. This view combines the run’s price paths and configured demand assumptions to show how the commercial outlook develops over time.

Flexibility when your question needs it
Test custom rules.
Explore informal referencing.
Use the maintained rulesets for your base case, then model alternative rules or informal referencing assumptions as distinct scenarios.
Inspect the formula builder Your product dataset, reused
Keep the foundation.
Develop the next scenario.
Import products, packs, prices and markets into Data Hub. Reuse that dataset with the reference rules and scenario settings you choose, refining the inputs from early planning through launch and lifecycle.
Questions, answered
A clearer starting point.
Do we need to build our own IRP rules?
No. SyMAP includes built-in IRP rulesets maintained by Symaptics, providing the country baskets, formulas and review timing for your analysis. Start with those rulesets and your product data. Custom rules are available when you want to test alternative assumptions.
Can we model both launch and in-market IRP?
Yes. Model initial reference-price assessments at launch and subsequent reassessments after launch. Explore how launch dates, available reference prices, review timing and later price changes affect the international price path.
Can we explore informal referencing for a pricing negotiation?
Yes. Informal referencing scenarios let you specify the reference markets, calculation assumptions and timing to explore a potential pricing outcome. Use these to explore the referencing assumptions behind a potential pricing negotiation alongside your formal IRP scenarios.
Can we adapt the rules for a specific scenario?
Yes. Adjust reference baskets, review cycles, matching, price types and FX assumptions, or build custom formulas with conditions and country-specific terms. Save a custom ruleset and compare the scenario with your base case.
Can we compare alternative launch and price scenarios?
Yes. Compare saved simulations, run sensitivity series and inspect thresholds. For a search across pricing and launch choices with revenue objectives, explore pricing and launch optimisation.
Can we see the calculations behind the results?
Yes. Inspect the reference prices and contributing products, applied formula, calculated price and assessment outcome. The event log also shows effective dates and reasons a change was skipped or not applied, so you can follow the result through to implementation.
How does IRP connect with the wider forecast?
Use the product dataset in the integrated platform to connect international price evolution with linked US MFN effects and revenue. Patient and revenue forecasting brings the demand assumptions into the same commercial picture.
