Medical device manufacturers need private health plans to provide reimbursement for their products. They should understand who the private payers are and the criteria they use when deciding whether or not to provide reimbursement for specific medical devices.

Recorded on Tuesday, May 15, 2007: Compliance-Alliance presented an audio conference on Reimbursement Benchmarking: How Medical Device Staff Gain Buy-in & Other Secrets
