Reimbursement and products liability are prevalent issues that impact healthcare technology companies throughout their enterprise and product life cycles.  When properly managed, these matters will not create undue distractions from product development and maximizing valuations.  During this brisk-paced session, senior representatives from Reimbursement Principles and Medmarc will lead a discussion on identifying important issues and resolutions healthcare technology executives should address during clinical trials, product launch, establishment of a market presence, and M & A.
