Go-to market strategy:

The complexities of the U.S. healthcare system can seem daunting when you’re looking to enter it with a new product or chart a reliable growth path for your company. These complexities require you to examine your product’s value proposition closely, based on who your user, buyer, and payer are. Most companies take a trial-and-error approach to figuring this out. At Decimal.health, we believe in setting up the right strategy from the get-go, so you’re avoiding expensive mistakes, and setting yourself up for the best possible market entry. Services include:

  • Assessing where you are today by evaluating current product-market fit 

  • Conducting market research and developing insights to drive our understanding of fit within that market 

  • Refining product-market fit by evaluating competitive pressures

  • Defining, then testing, your strategic positioning by getting real-world feedback from your potential buyers, whether they’re pharma companies, health systems, or payers

  • Segmenting customers and developing a list of targets
  • Developing your product’s pricing strategy, revenue model, and ROI calculator

Regulatory strategy:

The sooner you begin thinking about your solution’s regulatory strategy, the better. It can be an expensive, cumbersome, and tedious process – but it doesn’t have to be. 

While many organizations equate regulation with approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), that’s only one option. Decimal.health has helped dozens of digital health startups navigate the complex regulatory landscape and attain digital transformation (DTx) or software-as-medical-device (SAMD) certifications and/or clearances or approvals. 

We can help you determine which FDA approval pathway is the right route for you – we have guided numerous companies through the FDA registration and/or approval process. Each pathway has different implications for reimbursement potential, clinical workflows, investment requirements, and timelines. 

We’re by your side as you build your regulatory claim, ensure it has all the elements necessary, and work with the appropriate regulatory agency as you pursue approval.

Reimbursement strategy:

No matter how stellar your digital health solution is, your best chance of success lies in incentivizing the clinician on the ground to offer your product to their patients. A solid reimbursement strategy is an important component for doing just that, and digital health reimbursement is a constantly shifting landscape. That’s why forward-thinking companies require an expert partner like Decimal.health to develop  a viable reimbursement strategy. 

Our service helps founders and funders answer the following key questions:

  • Which CPT codes are relevant, and when?
  • How much reimbursement should you expect from each code? 
  • Is a physician required to bill these codes? 
  • Who bills and when, and what documentation is needed to do so successfully?
  • Is a regulatory filing a necessary precursor to getting reimbursement? 
  • What evidence is required to qualify for a CPT code?
  • What effect will the current reimbursement terms and conditions have on your business?
