Finding hidden rare disease patients in 3 weeks
Overview
When a pharma company needed to find rare disease patients, they hit a wall. Traditional claims data only showed fragments of patient stories. IQVIA's LAAD Plus changed everything by merging open and closed claims for 400+ million patients. The result? They discovered 15% more patients and providers than anyone knew existed, transforming their launch strategy in just weeks. The solution brought together LAAD's massive 300+ million patient database with PharMetrics Plus's 318-million-member records, finally filling in the missing pieces.

What they found surprised everyone. There were 15% more specialists treating these rare disease patients than their original data suggested, hidden at facilities that weren't showing up before. They spotted 10% more diagnoses and 20% more procedures, suddenly seeing the full story of how patients moved through the healthcare system. Perhaps most importantly, they could finally see cash payments that had been invisible, revealing how families were paying for treatments when insurance fell short. Armed with this complete picture, the team could pinpoint exactly which doctors to approach, understand the real challenges patients faced, and build payment programs that worked. They'd found their needles in the haystack.

Frequently Asked Questions
LAAD Plus combines our patient-centric LAAD database (open claims) with PharMetrics® Plus (closed claims), building on IQVIA's business logic, data accuracy, and analytical methodologies. This comprehensive integration approach increases visibility across the entire claims continuum.
Closed claims provide comprehensive patient activity but are restricted by payer enrollment. Open claims offer broader coverage but may miss blocked products or specialty care. Integration eliminates these fundamental gaps for better decision-making by combining the strengths of both data types.
A recent pilot undertaken by a large pharma company identified 15% more providers and 15% more patients by integrating open and closed claims data. They also uncovered 10% more diagnoses and 20% more procedures. These documented results demonstrate the impact of comprehensive claims integration.
Yes. When you understand treatment patterns, patient flow, and real-world adherence, projections grow more reliable. This is especially valuable for rare disease and specialty segments where accurate forecasting through integrated data becomes critical for strategic planning.
LAAD Plus integrates over 400M de-identified patients, 58B lifecycle claims, and up to 11M healthcare providers across both open and closed claims datasets. This comprehensive scale and coverage ensures robust patient journey mapping across diverse therapeutic areas.
