The Medical Devices & MedTech execution context

Medical device marketing that drives adoption requires simultaneous execution on three tracks: clinical evidence (peer-reviewed publications, society presentation abstracts, clinical registry participation), economic justification (published health economic analyses, cost-per-procedure comparisons, length-of-stay impact), and reimbursement support (CPT code coverage, coverage determination letters, payer medical policies). Skipping any track creates a sales ceiling that no campaign can overcome. Sunshine Act-compliant KOL relationship management — where physician education funding and speaking fees are properly documented and reported — is both a compliance requirement and a marketing asset: disclosed, transparent relationships with recognized clinical experts build more credibility than undisclosed ones.
