CMS is seeking feedback on a proposed RAPID pathway that aims to speed up national Medicare coverage for certain new medical devices shortly after FDA authorisation.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Medtech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You have a quicker route to get Medicare coverage for breakthrough devices if you engage early with CMS on the RAPID pathway. An early conversation with Medicare payers might open faster access for your medtech product.
