Drawing on experience across Medtronic, Zimmer, and St. Jude/Abbott, Mark breaks down the “three-legged stool” of coverage, coding, and payment, why clinical evidence must satisfy payer standards (not just FDA), and how to “follow the money” across fragmented U.S. systems. The conversation then dives into the New Technology Add-On Payment (NTAP) program, why it matters for inpatient launches, how breakthrough designation has increased NTAP success, and the major implications of CMS proposing to repeal the alternative pathway—plus what companies can do before the June 9 comment deadline.
