About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

The Head of Field Reimbursement is an exciting opportunity to make a meaningful impact for patients. This is a remote, field-based role. This role will report into the Senior Director of Market Access and HEOR. The FRM will support the launch of an upcoming drug, exclusively in the inpatient setting, for use during surgical procedures. They will work in collaboration with the sales and market access teams to provide full support to hospitals. Unlike buy-and-bill outpatient drugs, inpatient drugs are bundled into a DRG payment, often not separately reimbursed, and can be financially risky for hospitals.
The FRM will play a critical role in communicating the financial story to hospitals with a budget impact model and understanding of the standard of care reimbursement dynamics. This role will educate on MS-DRG, NTAP, and outlier payments. They will also support proper coding of ICD-10-PCS procedure codes, accurate diagnosis capture, and proper documentation. Inservice support providing hospital education and managing objections will be imperative.
This is a strategic leadership role and will be responsible to build out and hire a team of Field Reimbursement Managers over the next 6 months. Financial acumen and soft skills to ensure an open and ongoing relationship with hospitals is imperative. Operating within a fast-paced, pre-commercial environment, this individual will partner cross-functionally to align strategy and execution, while proactively navigating reimbursement, policy, and health system dynamics to optimize patient access and account performance.
