Cluster Analysis • Study contains more Low cluster beneficiaries than the industry. • For industry comparisons, useWeighted industry price. • This uses 50% of the costs of the Low cluster and 100% of the other clusters. • Low clusteris more relevant to the emerging low-cost option environment. • High cluster is used to give an upper limit to the PMB price.Would only be applicable to a few high utilisation options.
