The Payer Exchange
Unscripted conversations with the people shaping drug pricing, access, and reimbursement around the world.
Hosted by Omar Ali, Head of Payers at Verpora, The Payer Exchange brings you honest, off-the-record discussions with payers working at the frontline of healthcare funding. Each episode features a one-to-one conversation with a payer from a different country—exploring local challenges, emerging trends, and contrasting approaches to some of the biggest questions in market access.
From horizon scanning to contracting, rare disease to real-world evidence, we ask the same core questions—but get different answers every time.
This isn’t a panel. It’s not a pitch. It’s a rare chance to hear what really drives decision-making—direct from those making the decisions.

What really shapes access decisions in healthcare? Beyond the policy documents and headlines—it’s the people. The payers making the calls.
I’m Omar Ali, and The Payer Exchange is a podcast where I sit down with payers from around the world for honest, unscripted conversations about what’s really driving decisions on drug pricing, access, and reimbursement.
Each episode, I speak to someone working at the heart of healthcare funding in their country. We talk about the local challenges, global trends, and how payer thinking is evolving—from horizon scanning to contracting, regulatory reform to real-world evidence.
This isn’t a panel. It’s not a pitch. It’s a chance to hear what’s really happening—straight from the people who live it.
