Dirk Sutherland - Director of Health Economics and Market Access, PI Division, CVI & Analytics, Boston Scientific
I have thirty-five years of professional experience, including twenty years specializing in Market Access. I possess expertise in Reimbursement, Medical Policy, Patient Access, Contracting, and Payment.
I work alongside Clinical and Health Economics Outcomes Research teams to understand clinical outcomes questions and develop clinical evidence, helping to influence payer coverage policies, resulting in increased patient access to proven technologies. This includes projects such as network meta-analysis and clinical dossiers.
My experience includes supporting business models through clinical data, pro forma creation, and presentation, with a focus on clinical outcomes for patients, economic opportunities for customers, and cost savings for payers. My role involves ongoing review of changes in service delivery and payment models.
This experience encompasses work with advanced, disruptive technologies, successfully realizing Private Payer engagement, collaboration with Medicare Contractor (MAC) local coverage determinations, technology assessments, benefit management, and payment strategies, executed through multi-stakeholder advocacy campaigns, enhancing patient access to treatments that improve quality of life.
Before my HEMA experience, I worked in Sales, Sales Management, and Technology Training within the biomedical field.
