Situation

A large medtech company had launched a novel endoscopic treatment for obesity and needed to secure coverage across U.S. payers.

While clinical evidence was available, payers raised questions around burden, outcomes, and how the technology compared to existing treatment options.

The client engaged Alkemi to develop a clear, credible payer value story that addressed objections and supported U.S. coverage discussions.

Approach

1. Conducted targeted literature and payer policy reviews to assess evidence supporting key value domains.

2. Developed payer-relevant value messages and mapped available clinical and economic evidence to support those messages.

3. Coordinated iterative reviews with cross-functional stakeholders to refine positioning and ensure alignment.

4. Recommended and aligned on a dossier format that highlighted differentiated device features and outcomes.

The focus throughout:

Equip teams with a payer-ready value narrative that withstands scrutiny.

Deliverables

1
Targeted literature and payer policy review validating burden, outcomes, and economic value.
2
U.S. payer dossier articulating the value of the therapy and addressing common payer objections.
