Given Attractive New Reimbursement Levels,
How to Price to Maximize Penetration & Profit?

UrolCo is a publicly held manufacturer of systems for treating certain urological disorders. The systems includes capital equipment and pre-procedure disposables.

Medicare had recently begun to allow for in-office reimbursement for certain key procedures done with UrolCo (and competitor) products. Substantial increases in patients were expected, and there were several possible pricing options available. But competition was intense.

How to Overcome 'Negatives'?

Because of previous missteps, the company's image and product reputation had been somewhat tarnished in the past, but recent advancements had won some praise.

The CEO hired Quattro to determine a pricing strategy to help speed penetration and capture share from competitors.
