MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY REIMBURSEMENT FIRM CELEBRATES 14 YEARS OF SUCCESS

Expands in Memphis, Expands Services and Rebranding Campaign

MEMPHIS, TN (February 6, 2017, 2017) – Global Integrated Reimbursement Services, Inc., (GIRS) is celebrating over 14 years of developing successful integrated reimbursement strategies for medical technologies in the U.S. and globally with the expansion of a new marketing campaign, the launching of an upgraded website, girsinc.com; the branding and trademarking of its services; and expanding the company’s social media presence

“We are celebrating over 14 years of success in in providing market access support to medical device, diagnostics, biologics, and pharmaceutical companies that are producing breakthrough products that have a significant impact on the quality of life for patients around the globe,” said Sajini Thomas, Founder and President.

GIRS helps medical technology companies get their products accurately coded and helps them navigate the complex reimbursement landscape in every stage of product development to improve market uptake and patient access. GIRS is a one-stop shop for a comprehensive range of services, from payer advocacy services to billing guides and comprehensive reimbursement strategies.  The most significant, recent outcomes of the expert reimbursement work have been the acquiring of two of the main GIRS clients by larger companies.  “We are delighted that two of our main clients were acquired by larger companies partly due to the expert support of their flagship Products and the sound reimbursement strategies that were developed to support these Products that increased the value of these companies and made them attractive options for buyouts,” said Ms. Thomas

The client testimonial on the website states that:

“The GIRS Payer Advocacy Compass™ supports led to increased market access for our flagship product, improved patient access, provider satisfaction and reduction of confusion, and eventually we were acquired by a large company.  Due to the excellent and thorough Landscape Assessment that lead to Payer Advocacy and clinical outcomes strategies, our company was able to obtain Medicare coverage for a biologic in one year after experiencing non – coverage for eight years.  Our company was acquired by a large company due to the reimbursement support we received from GIRS for our flagship product. We are continuing to work with the GIRS Payer Advocacy Compass™ team in other payer markets and for additional products.”

GIRS also invested in its government contracting services by expanding the infrastructure and the team by hiring consultants, employees, and a legal team.

“Revenue grew 15% percent from 2015 to 2016,” Thomas said and, “We are projecting a 30 percent growth in 2017. Strong, long-term relationships with key clients has sustained us over the past 14 years. However, most of our growth in in 2016 resulted from new clients.  As the need for integrated reimbursement strategies increases globally and the desire for extensive complimentary services grows, we are attracting new clients.”
