Medical Technology Reimbursement Professionals Workshop

Tuesday, February 16 – Thursday, February 18, 2010

Las Vegas, NV | The Westin Casuarina Hotel


"Reimbursement is a contact sport,” says an expert speaker at MTLI’s four-day medical technology reimbursement workshop.  There are winners, losers, and some players get hurt.  Certainly it is not just a spectator event, and merely knowing the rules is never enough.  Creating, implementing, and maintaining a successful reimbursement strategy takes skill, practice, team coordination, hard work, and the agility to adapt to shifting circumstances.  Doing it right can make the difference between a product’s success or failure in the market.

Join us for this intensive program where leading experts in the field lead participants through didactic sessions, case studies, and working hypothetical exercises.  This comprehensive workshop is designed for both beginning and seasoned reimbursement professionals, as well as sales & marketing, product managing, strategic planning, and all others who might benefit from a working understanding of reimbursement and its relationship to company business objectives and product strategies.
