Responsibilities of the MARRM include but are not limited to, developing and maintaining relationships with key decision-makers within the regional commercial payers, state health associations, and other relevant organizations. The MARRM influences policy decisions, fee schedules, product coverage, utilization management, and reimbursement payment decisions. Additionally, the MARRM is tasked with developing and implementing payer coverage and reimbursement strategies tailored to secure appropriate access, coverage, and reimbursement for the Smith & Nephew wound care product portfolio across assigned government and commercial payer segments.
