Reimbursement, Payor Coverage, and Integrating Customer Economics into your Marketing Strategy
While most medical technology companies understand that they will have to eventually have a “Reimbursement Strategyâ€, they often don’t appreciate how they could be leveraging their broader product investment to drive a Reimbursement strategy. Critically, we have seen that an inadequate Reimbursement strategy negatively bends the market adoption curve, slows adoption, and can limit total market penetration. It is essential for a company to understand its customer’s economics – as driven by the product/procedure. MCG works with companies to assess their customer’s economics, develop a Reimbursement and Payor Coverage strategy, to leverage current investments/data/customers and develop and execute an effective strategy.
What Clients Say About Us? The Mead Consulting Group helped us re-assess our strategic market opportunities and “pivot†to a higher growth Hospital market opportunity. The Mead Group’s strategic analysis, including an assessment of external market legislative drivers and re-positioning of our core product line(s) to leverage these drivers, has accelerated our growth curve substantially. The Mead Consulting Group developed an integrated Strategic Plan that helped us target all our key customers including physicians, purchasing hospital, Group Purchasing Organization, and Payor. They helped us think farther ahead to the commercialization phase and to address sales barriers that would have stopped us dead in our tracks.
MCG helped us develop a strategy to obtain payor coverage through a series of local coverage decisions targeting key local payors and utilizing our current customer network. This greatly accelerated our revenue stream allowing us to beat our market share goals in our strategic plan over a 3 year time frame.
