Biosimilars create
competition for change
The rising cost of treatment continues to remain
at the forefront of physician and patient concerns.
Biosimilars offer choice
Biosimilars can drive down the cost of care while delivering quality treatment to those who need it. As high-value biosimilar competition continues to enter the market, providers are realizing the power of choice .
- Projected annual savings from biosimilars alone are expected to top $60 billion in 2023 for a 5-year total of $153 billion1
- Savings will benefit a range of stakeholders in the short term, with
patients, payers, and the healthcare system seeing potential long-term benefits1
Coherus BioSciences was established in 2010 with the mission to improve patient access to high-quality biologics for life-altering diseases by leveraging the biosimilar regulatory pathway.
