FDA Week
FDA Week is a weekly "insider" newsletter covering public policymaking surrounding the Food and Drug Administration's regulation of drugs, devices, food safety and related areas. FDA Week delivers out-ahead news that is often found nowhere else in print. It has become must-reading for the top regulatory professionals in Washington and has a national reputation for being the best news source on what will happen next at the agency.
Inside CMS
In the tradition of all Inside Washington Publishers' newsletters, the weekly Inside CMS covers Medicare and Medicaid from the inside out - delivering exclusive stories on the behind-the-scenes posturing, policymaking and paperwork for these mega-billion-dollar programs. Top professionals in health insurance, the provider industry, the administration and Congress find Inside CMS indispensable because it allows readers to influence policies before they are cast into stone. (Editor's Note: Inside CMS changed from biweekly to weekly frequency effective 2/29/2012.)
Inside Health Reform
A new special feature offering daily in-depth coverage on implementation of the new health reform law.
Subscription Costs
Pricing for InsideHealthPolicy.com is based on two components: a subscription to one or more underlying print publication, currently $685 per year for either FDA Week or Inside CMS ($735 per year outside the U.S. and Canada), plus an online access fee of $300 for a single user. Thus, if you are not currently a subscriber to any of our health newsletters, the cost of a single user subscription is a total of $985 per year, which includes one year of online access to InsideHealthPolicy.com and an annual subscription to either Inside CMS or FDA Week.
If you already subscribe to one or more of the IWP health newsletters, you can add a single-user license to InsideHealthPolicy.com for $300 per year. Note that the underlying print subscription(s) must be maintained in order to access InsideHealthPolicy.com.

Our customer service representatives will supply you with a username and password and explain our terms and conditions of use.
Multiple Users
As with single user licenses above, corporate single-location licenses for up to four users are made up of two components -- $675 for a subscription to an underlying print publication plus an online access fee of $600 a year to allow access by four assigned users. Above four users, site licenses are negotiated on a case-by-case basis. The per-user price can drop dramatically for expanded organization-wide access. The access fees can cost less than a trip to Starbucks per week per user depending on the number of users and locations.
Access
InsideHealthPolicy.com can be accessed from any web browser (Firefox 2.x or above or Internet Explorer 7.x or above). The only additional software that some users may require is a copy of Adobe's Acrobat Reader software, which can be downloaded at no charge from www.adobe.com. Printable copies of the newsletters on InsideHealthPolicy.com are prepared using Adobe Acrobat, in order to retain the original look of the paper copy.
Terms and Conditions
Specific terms and conditions may apply to access. For example, a location generally is defined as a street address. But there may be instances where the size of an office served by a street address (such as a government agency or large corporate office) is deemed too large to be considered a single location. In these instances, other definitions will apply - such as a specific office or department within an organization. In another example, a library that receives subscription issues for redistribution to individual readers will not be considered a single user, and will be subject to corporate access fees or site licenses which are negotiated case by case. Read our terms and conditions.
Free Trials
A trial is completely free and there is no obligation. At the end of your trial, we will invite you to subscribe. If you don't subscribe, your access will automatically expire.
