Coalitions
We establish and maintain product-specific Coalitions to provide collective power and expertise for lobbying legislative bodies and regulatory agencies regarding coding, coverage, and reimbursement under Medicare and Medicaid. By combining efforts through a single voice, the Coalitions greatly enhance the ability of manufacturers, clinicians, providers, physicians and patients to achieve their shared industry-specific goals.
The Coalitions at present are as follows:
- Coalition of Wound Care Manufacturers
- Coalition of Respiratory Care Manufacturers
- Coalition of Enteral Nutrition Manufacturers
Consulting
We provide comprehensive strategies to proactively address coding, coverage and reimbursement issues under Medicare and Medicaid for medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturers. Our coordinated reimbursement approach for new and existing products enhances the opportunities for their market success.
Using our expertise and contacts, we provide the following services:
- Hands-on assistance to companies throughout the product development lifecycle on appropriate coding, coverage and reimbursement strategies for new or existing medical devices or drugs; and
- Educational programs for companies on coding, coverage and reimbursement issues.
