Testimonials

“NovaVision was honored to be invited to participate as a small company in AdvaMed's Value of Technology showcase on Capitol Hill. The event was well-organized, well-attended, and most importantly, provided good exposure to staffers and policymakers on Capitol Hill. We have greatly benefited from this opportunity to showcase our technology. Largely as a result of the event, key policymakers have taken interest in our therapy and have joined our efforts in making the therapy more accessible.” - Holger Weiss, Vice President & Chief Financial Officer, NovaVision

“Venture capital backed startup companies who are developing and marketing truly innovative products have a major challenge in dealing with both the FDA and CMS these days.  Over the past decade, transparency of FDA processes and context to their decisions has been achieved with the help of AdvaMed.  Today, the same type of assistance is required and occurring thanks to AdvaMed with CMS.  My current company which serves the Wound Management market is additionally challenging in terms of reimbursement.  As a smaller company, I need all the help I can get and AdvaMed’s staff has worked with me as part of a larger, organized sector to address these issues.  AdvaMed can help get issues addressed that otherwise would be difficult for a company going it alone.”  - Kevin Nickels, President & Chief Executive Officer, Celleration, Inc.

“Our one hour face-to-face meeting with AdvaMed executives addressed key questions that we had been debating for a number of months.  As a non-U.S. based company, these answers saved us additional money that we would have had to spend on consultants.  Membership has already paid for itself and we are only in the first quarter of the year.” - Paul Mitchell, US Operations, Deltex Medical
