CPI-Adjustment Methodology
Guidelines - Schedule 9
1.1 … the National Average Transaction Price
and … of an existing patented drug product will
be presumed to be excessive if they increase by
more than that allowed under the Board’s CPIAdjustment Methodology, as long as this price
does not exceed the HIPC test.
3
CPI-Adjustment Methodology
Constraint #1
1.2 - Adjusting the benchmark prices of the
drug product for the cumulative change in the
CPI from the benchmark year to the year
under review (CPI-Adjusted Price); and
4
CPI-Adjustment Methodology
Constraint #2
1.2 - Applying a cap on the maximum price
increase in any one year, equal to 1.5 times
the forecast change in the annual CPI. In
periods of high inflation (over 10%), the limit
will be five percentage point more than the
forecast change in the CPI.
5
Terminology
Benchmark Year & Price
• Introductory vs Current
• Benchmark Year is 3 years prior to the date of sale,
unless date of first sale is less than 3 years
• Introductory Benchmark Price: Lower of the
N-ATP and MAPP
• Current Benchmark Price: Lower of the N-ATP and
N-NEAP

Highest International Price Comparison
Guidelines - Schedule 6
1.2 … the Average Transaction Price of a
patented drug product at the national level…will
be presumed to be excessive if it exceeds the
highest price of the same strength and dosage for
of the same patented drug product for each
country listed in the Regulations (France,
Germany, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, the United
Kingdom, and the United States).
12
Highest International Price Comparison
Guidelines - Schedule 6
2.1 To calculate the HIPC test for a new patented
drug product, the exchange rates used are the
simple average of the thirty-six monthly average
noon-spot exchange rates for each country (taken
to eight decimal places) as published by the Bank
of Canada for the thirty six months ending four
months before the date of the first sale of the
drug product.

Calculating the Ex-Factory Price (Germany)
• Formulary Price (FP) stated in euros in Röte Liste
• FP includes 19% Value Added Tax (VAT)
• No price comparable to ex-factory hospital price
reported by patentee
19
Calculating the Ex-Factory Price (Germany)
• Step 1: Remove VAT: FP net (FPN) = FP / 1.19
• Step 2: Calculate ex-factory pharmacy price (PP)
PP = (FPN-8.10) / 1.03
• Step 3: Derive ex-factory wholesale price (WP)
20
Calculating the Ex-Factory Price (Germany)
• Ex-factory wholesale price (WP) is derived as follows:
If :
21
0 < PP ≤ 3.45
WP
= PP / 1.15
3.46 < PP ≤
4.19
WP
= PP - 0.45
4.20 < PP ≤
5.60
WP
= PP / 1.12
5.61 < PP ≤
7.26
WP
= PP - 0.60
7.27 < PP ≤
9.81
WP
= PP / 1.09
9.82 < PP ≤ 12.37
WP
= PP - 0.81
12.38 < PP ≤ 24.61
WP
= PP / 1.07
24.62 < PP ≤ 28.43
WP
= PP - 1.61
28.44 < PP ≤ 1,272.00
WP
= PP / 1.06
PP > 1,272.00
WP
= PP – 72
