AmerisourceBergen’s
solutions help
manufacturers
maximize product
success at every
stage of the product
life cycle.

As the complexity of healthcare
increases, providers and manufacturers
search for ways to provide better care
with fewer resources in an increasingly
global marketplace. Reimbursement
models in the U.S. and elsewhere will
continue to evolve, and manufacturers
will be expected to be able to demonstrate
both the clinical efficacy of a given
product as well as its economic value.

is considered on a global scale, as
manufacturers endeavor to make their
products available as broadly as possible,
and improving patient access will be
an important driver of the Company’s
future growth.
AmerisourceBergens solutions

success at every stage of the product life
cycle. From clinical trial logistics and
product launch and reimbursement
strategy support to third party logistics,
distribution, provider education and
patient support services, we use our
expertise, reach and scale to improve
product access around the globe. As
the primary pharmaceutical distributor
to tens of thousands of community,
health system and specialty pharmacy
customers, and the largest distributor
of specialty products to community
practices and hospitals, the cornerstone
of our manufacturer services is our global
sourcing and distribution expertise. In
addition, our market leading specialty
physician networks and world-class
patient support services enable us to
provide comprehensive solutions designed
to drive optimal product access and

manufacturers, fostering strategic
relationships and focusing on specific,
new value-added activities. This new
