Introduction:

The pursuit of advancing healthcare innovation and transforming patient care has led to the development of revolutionary FDA-cleared medical technologies.

Driving Adoption and Market Entry:

Achieving widespread adoption and market success for FDA-approved medical innovations is a paramount objective for MedTech innovators. PRIA’s patient access platform solutions expedite the route to market, enabling companies to break barriers and reach diverse healthcare settings effectively. Studies have shown that medical device companies leveraging PRIA’s solutions experience a remarkable 40% reduction in time-to-market for their innovative technologies (Healthcare Economics Today, 2023). This accelerated adoption not only ensures quicker patient access but also establishes a competitive edge for MedTech innovators.

Enhancing Patient Outcomes:

At the heart of PRIA’s mission lies the dedication to patient-centric healthcare solutions. Patient access platform solutions play a pivotal role in enhancing patient outcomes through timely access to FDA-approved medical technologies. PRIA has helped over 30,000 patients gain payer approval for life-changing procedures. Many of the 100+ MedTech innovators we have partnered with have an innovative minimally invasive technology that not only improves patient outcomes but also expedites patient recovery time (time away from work and family) and elevates overall patient experience.

With over 11 years of experience building customized patient access programs, PRIA has an overall 74% average success rate (the highest in the industry) in obtaining prior authorization approvals across all PA programs. This remarkable enhancement in patient well-being, has far-reaching effects, leading to reduced long-term healthcare costs and improved overall quality of life. The gratitude from many patients who have been in pain or discomfort for years is overwhelming. One patient, after several appeals with her insurance company, sent the following message to the PRIA team “I cannot express the overwhelming gratitude I feel for all you’ve done to accompany me through the process of getting my insurance company to pay for [this device]. Your professionalism, knowledge, and encouragement all played a part in keeping me on track to see this through. By the grace of God and all your efforts, we won the favorable decision.  It’s a decision I’m sure will greatly improve my quality of life, and I have you to thank for that.  I am forever in your debt.”
