The goal of personalized medicine is to pinpoint the most effective treatments and reduce the morbidity and toxicity associated with unnecessary therapies. One of the major challenges in the field is securing reimbursement for personalized medicine services. While Medicare often leads the way in adopting new approaches, other payers vary in their criteria, making it a complex landscape to navigate.
Our guest today is Matt Mega, the Senior Vice President of Market Access at Natera. He emphasizes the importance of identifying patients who will truly benefit from specific treatments, sparing others from unnecessary risks and costs.
The conversation also dives into:
- The nuances of working with payors & the need for robust data
- The importance of listening to payors needs
- The need for sustained investment
- The evolving landscape of reimbursement policies
