How To Monetize Your Big Healthcare Idea

What do these three healthcare innovators have in common?

  1. A digital health founder creates a solution that impacts patients, providers, and payors;

  2. A health system seeks to grow beyond its physical constraints by implementing a Hospital at Home program;

  3. An international company wants to introduce its solution to the US health market.

Three very different situations, one shared problem: 

How to actually get paid.

We get this question a lot from new clients in startup mode and established clients entering new markets.

And it's not surprising, given that there is no one straight path to reimbursement. 

When we work with our clients on business models, reimbursement, launching new service lines, and entering the US market, we explore every option to find the best fit. 

While we can't do that in this email, we can share some helpful information to point you in the right direction.

Hospitals and Health Systems

How's that for a start? You may be surprised at your revenue opportunities  when you start down this path. Your customer may not be your end user. Or you may have more tracks to reimbursement than you thought.

The only way to know for sure is to explore it with an experienced healthcare innovation attorney, and you can do that by clicking here.

Conference Schedule

Are you on the road, too? Let's plan to connect if you're going where we're going:

Don’t Miss This

If you missed the breakdown of opportunities and impacts of the 2023 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule webinar—plus insights on the future of telehealth with the recently passed CAA "omnibus" bill—you can now get the replay.

And that brings this issue to a close…

As we were getting ready to hit send, the Biden Administration announced the end of the Public Health Emergency (PHE) on May 11. That is BIG news for anyone in telehealth, and we'll have more resources for you in the coming weeks (start with the webinar replay above!). 

If you can't wait that long or have specific needs, contact us now to prepare for the transition.

Thank you for making room for us in your crowded inbox every month. You're busy, and we aim to deliver the most immediately useful information in each issue. You can always reply to our emails with kudos, comments, questions, or constructive criticism—we read every response.
