Abstract
Insurers and some drug manufacturers are turning to the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER) as the arbiter of drug prices, especially as prices soar and value is sought. But questions persist about the cost-effectiveness calculations of the Boston not-for-profit and its dependence on QALYs.
