Job Title: Field Reimbursement Manager - Tzield (DC, VA, MD)

• Location: Field Based. DC, Virgina, Maryland.

About the Job

The individual in this role will need to demonstrate a deep passion for patients and caregivers with an emphasis on enhancing and optimizing the patient and prescriber experience with our support program offerings. Moreover, since this is a foundational role, this individual will need to quickly establish compliant relationships with healthcare providers, helping to ensure successful access to the prescribed treatment. The Tzield reimbursement environment is highly challenging for Health Care Providers (HCPs) and Patients. Payer medical and pharmacy Utilization Management (UM) criteria create process delays for patients such as required Benefits Investigations (BI), Prior Authorizations (PA), Denials, Appeals, detailed Clinical Documentation, and Peer to Peer reviews. Assisting HCPs and their patients to gain access to prescribed treatments requires dedicated and knowledgeable customer facing support. This support is provided by our FRM team. The FRM is a critical field-facing member of the Sanofi Patient Support Services organization and an integral part of the Tzield matrix team.

This is a regionally aligned, field-based position that provides reimbursement education and support for customers that utilize TZIELD (and other future products). The FRM will act at the subject matter expert on access, reimbursement, billing & coding processes and providing support through (1) product-specific provider reimbursement support, (2) coordination of HUB/Patients Services reimbursement services, and (3) managing payer/coverage pull-through initiatives. FRMs support the company and divisional reimbursement strategy. This position also requires the ability to successfully navigate working across multiple internal and external stakeholder teams, as well as program vendors, to deliver an exceptional experience.

Join the team transforming care for people with immune challenges, rare diseases, cancers, and neurological conditions. In Specialty Care, you’ll help deliver breakthrough treatments that bring hope to patients with some of the highest unmet needs.
