Jaeger Medical Research Associates (JMRA) has expanded to include three areas of focus: (1) a consultancy firm specializing in reimbursement strategy to assure that a new medical device and its associated procedure obtain broad coverage by payers; (2) expert witness services; and (3) a website (http://jmr-assoc.com/) offering reports for sale helping medical device manufacturers gain reimbursement. With reimbursement strategy planning, one must begin a strategic plan early in the product's development cycle to ensure a positive coverage and reimbursement outcome. It is imperative to develop parallel regulatory, clinical and reimbursement paths that address the needs of both the FDA and the payers who ultimately control the product's marketing destiny through their policy-making decisions. Hospitals and physicians may use the device, but third-party payers/insurers reimburse and they set the rules. Dr. Vincent Jaeger's considerable experience on the payer side (Head of Medical Policy at Aetna for 7 years and at Health Net for 6 years) qualified him to offer his advanced skills as a consultant to manufacturers to ensure a positive reimbursement outcome and financial success of their newly developed devices and procedures. Dr Jaeger possesses the insight to propose the most appropriate clinical study designs from product concept onwards, choice of meaningful endpoints to demonstrate improved clinical outcomes, and the creation of strategic reimbursement plans designed to facilitate a successful market launch of the product. Dr. Jaeger is also pleased to offer his expertise as an expert witness or litigation consultant to medical device manufacturers, the client-attorney and consulting firms to capitalize on his years of education and experience in the field he enjoys, and put something back into the system. That is, to help people, to contribute to society, and to see that justice is done.
