Abstract
Grutters et al recently investigated the role of early health economic modelling of health technologies by undertaking a secondary analysis of health economic modelling assessments performed by their group. Our commentary offers a broad perspective on the potential utility of early health economic modelling to inform health technology assessment (HTA) and decision-making around reimbursement of new health technologies. Further we provide several examples to compliment Grutters and colleagues’ observations.

The present commentary offers a broad perspective on the potential utility of early health economic modelling to inform HTA and decision-making around reimbursement of new health technologies
Early health economic modelling provides a mechanism for early assessment of new health technologies, as pointed out by Grutters et al Its acceptance and utility will depend on the environment and context within which it is undertaken, but minimising uncertainty, generation of real-world evidence and informing risk share agreements stand out as areas of greatest potential
Summary
Health technology assessment (HTA) is routinely used to support reimbursement decisions. The role is less clear for early health economic modelling to identify potentially cost-effective new technologies during their development phases; that is, prior to robust efficacy data being available.
