Why businesses choose The JD Lymon Group
Over the years I have worked for four venture backed startup companies in various stages from early development to mature commercial (e.g.: $100+M in annual sales). I learned early on in my career that not bringing in Market Access expertise can have catastrophic consequences in your ability to launch and ultimately drive adoption, post approval.
The team at JD Lymon Group has extensive expertise in all things Market Access and understand the unique needs of each of the phases a startup goes through and appropriately helps teams to plan with an eye on commercial launch. They are pragmatic in their approaches and bring a wealth of expertise in the categories of evidence requirements, coding strategies, payor and society engagements, such that they have become an invaluable member of our team, even as a consultant. I can confidently state that their involvement at ShiraTronics, starting in our late development phase and which has carried through our clinical phase, has put us in an excellent position to execute our commercial launch with unique codes and with a well understood strategy related to garnering future payment and coverage.
I can’t say enough about the value JD Lymon Group brings to our team and would recommend them to any startup or established company that needs expert, up to date, easy to understand consulting assistance as they are “best in class” in what they do!”
