Overview
Health economists evaluate cost effectiveness, budget impact and value frameworks to inform coverage decisions, program design and resource allocation across health systems.
Analytic Methods
They apply modeling, cost utility analysis and real world evidence to compare interventions, estimate long term outcomes and support pricing and reimbursement strategies.
Policy and Decision Support
Economists advise payers, providers and policymakers on value based care, budget planning and economic implications of new technologies and population health programs.
Training and Outputs
Typically trained in economics, public health or health services research, they produce economic models, budget impact reports and value dossiers to support decision making.
