As a General Surgeon, I’m passionate about medical device development, particularly as it relates to health economics and healthcare delivery in general. I would like to gain a better understanding of the reimbursement structure in the US (I’m at Berkeley now; will practice in Canada) so I can offer expert advice to companies who approach me for advice within the field of surgery. Thank you! Marked as spam

Ikennah- I think it would be great if you could come to 10x this next year. It's a fantastic meeting and you'll not only get some additional information from Beth and myself but will be able to meet some people who could use your help in understanding the goings-on in Canada. If you can make it, it would be great to meet up there! Best Regards. Nic. Marked as spam

...I hit "post" too soon. It ultimately comes down to evidence and price. Payers are interested in reimbursing for technologies that improve outcomes at an appropriate price. If the manufacturer makes a great technology but charges as much as what they were providing to the payer then what incentive does the payer have to go through the hassle of covering the product? Don't consume all the financial benefit you're providing to the payer by charging too much. Do as many studies as you can afford that illustrate clinical utility (not clinical validity) and you're well on your way to coverage. Marked as spam
