Field Reimbursement position

Yes it does make you wonder: why didn't they move the bss into the frm position and then underpay them there? The Bss have all the current knowledge for the frm position. Plus, I don't think those positions are as well paid as the sales people in other companies. It's like a step down, because you aren't being incentivized. You're really just a consultant of sorts. Those people are usually assistants to the sales people, because the sales people are driving the sales because they are incentivized BY sales! There is obviously a big master plan here, I'm not sure the bss are a part of the long term plan. Essentially, they took the cmm's out of the hospital and gave them the bss job, then gave the bss the cmm job. Ah Ha! They think they are getting a "better" rep with a cmm, but yet they were overpaid. We need fewer reps, so lets get rid of the cmms, then hire a third of them back for an overall cheaper price. Then they'll have the "best of the best" (exaggerated, but you get my point). In the meantime, lets use the bss's relationships, knowledge of logistics, etc until we have all that info, then we'll just phase 'em out, cause they really don't need them once they roll flumist into az. I don't know, just a thought.

Here's the deal...The BSSs are going to be laid off, all of them, next Spring. The hand-picked 23 FRMs are the darlings of MEDI and will survive past Synagis, FluMist and will be transitioned into the new sales force in 2 years. that is what my sources in the corporate office are telling me. Just sayin'

Actually the public health team will be a large part of the new sales force. Thats what I'm hearing from the corporate office.

Reveal yourself liar. You are a big liar liar pants on fire. Stop trying to scare folks you big liar liar pants on fire.
 
Are people still questioning the "changes" and what that will mean to them? BSSs have no long-term promise on the horizon. No, I am not an insider, just someone that can add 2 +2. People that are in denial about what is happening are denial in many other aspects.

What is the 2 and 2 that you are adig? An coming uo with what?
 
outside candidate here and i'm happy to take the FRM job from you.

Sure, you know Synagis. It's not a 'buy and bill' drug you dope...there aren't reimbursement issues for the practice when it's acquired via specialty pharmacy. get your head out of your ass and look at the pipeline. This FRM team is being built in preparation for the lupus drug coming down the pipe.

any outside candidate with reimbursement experience that has done this type of job before will be happy to teach you that A, B, C and D are not just letters of the alphabet but components of the medicare program...here's your first interview question: The lupus drug will be billed to which part of Medicare (choose a letter, you have a 25% chance of getting it right) and the J-code at launch will be?

get ready to be schooled fool.....

Part b and misc j code. Happy now. ? It's not rocket science.
 
ok "outside candidate", you are interviewing for an FRM position and you are already wreaking havoc on cafe pharma to the BSS and CMM candidates all of whom have been loyal to this company. I do not think that you would be a good hire because you are already not a team player. Arrogance. Kharma, what goes around.....

You don't know the market because it is a buy and bill drug idiot. As for lupus the market is getting crowded already. And look at this companies track record of FAILED LAUNCHES.

I hope the BSS team that you have to work with wears you out daily and if you are my FRM I will make you miserable
 
"if you are my FRM"... I work for myself and the accounts I support fool. If you would pay more attention to trying to drive sales and less time pointing the finger of blame as to why you are not successful everyone would be better off. Fact is sales does not know diddily shit about reimbursement. Now go grab some coffees for those offices. Remember the fat window witch at Dr. X's office wants chocolates as well!

You're boring us. The frm job is a new role, but it's not a new job at medi. Simple fact: the bss team here has been doing that side of the business all along. Medi is taking that part of our jobs and giving it to a whole new
group. It's disturbing to see that the company is hiring people like you. Oddly though, not even you will be doing anything above what we've already been doing all along. Coming from genentech ? Why am I not surprised.
 
If management felt you were doing a great job they would not feel the need to bring in the outside talent like me. Your pathetic view/understanding of the overall reimbursement landscape has just given me the opportunity to join Medi. Sour grapes don't taste so good do they?
 
Man, I do not have a bad attitude and I do think that the sales force in this company is top notch. It seems that you have a bit of an attitidue. A very large attitude for being new to this company, wow! I wish you the best and hope that Medi doesn't regret hiring you. If you act like this towards your counterparts, you will not get very far!
 
top notch sales force...you betcha! selling synagis is the only thing more difficult than selling ice cold water to a millionaire in the middle of the desert. get over yourself. A preemie has RSV = they get synagis, thanks to the MCAM's doing the legwork on the front end for coverage policies. Nice job bud, you're really turning the tide. ahahahahaaaaa

Ok now i know we are in big trouble if they hire someone like you! Bulletin for you- read the Syn PI before you blow smoke dude. Synagis is not for a preemie with RSV! You just showed us how little you know and how dumb you are!I feel very sorry for the territory that has you as an FRM because you have a very long way to go to get up to speed on the very basics. WOW and you think they will hire you? I doubt it!

Offer came today! Who cares if that dude knows about synagis and RSV, it's a mature product...it was pretty clear during the interview process that this team is gearing up to launch the lupus therapy in 2 years...totally different market and your BSS experience in pediatrics and MediCAID, along with a quarter, will get you a cup of coffee. Me? I'll be enjoying my coffee and time at the gym because the BSS can handle the synagis stuff on top of picking up for the CMMs.

How many NEW prescribers (never used the product before) do you get each season for synagis?

Have the admin codes, ICD-9, NDC and J code changed?

Do the policies change that much from season to season?

AAP still f*cking you guys?

Right, save it fancy boy...reimbursement issues with synagis are minor. I'm gearing up for the lupus battle.

Now eat your brussel sprouts and go sell FluMist...
 
My offer came today as well. It was very apparent during the interviews that management is not impressed with the "talent pool" within the sales organization. Thus here I am to bring my reimbursement expertise to help build the company to greatness.

Looking at the future who do you think the physicians are going to want to see...some guy or gal showing up with doughnuts and coffee (wasting time and space in the office) or me or one of my colleagues there to discuss how to get the office reimbursed for the drugs that they have bought and billed?

so tell us fluffer boy (look it up), what will you actually be doing for the next 2 years ? Here's your answer: you'll be collecting a real nice paycheck for doing the same job - denials management, logistics, etc - that the existing sales force has been diong all along. It's a hipaa issue, and has zero to do with quality of existing internal talent. It's just real freaking weird that they're giving these jobs to hospital reps and outsiders, rather than the existing reps that are already doing the logisitics end of the business. But we know what you'll be doing, and what yu're supposed to be diong fluffer boy, because most of us have been doing that end of the job all along, and we'll be all over your ass to make sure you're doing it.
