Program Topic:
Until recently, the main focuses of medical device companies were designing devices and earning regulatory clearance for their new technologies. While innovative design and FDA approval are important for market entry, reimbursement is now a top concern for medical device executives, their investors and other healthcare stakeholders.
This program will provide an overview of coverage, coding and payment, key elements for reimbursement success. This program will also discuss how to develop an effective reimbursement strategy and how to demonstrate clinical and economic value for new technology. Case studies will be presented to illustrate reimbursement challenges and successes for new medical technology entering the market.
