In this Letter, I outlined a few things that I would like to see for the benefit of the medical device industry. The items included an improved image for the industry, pain management technologies market success, reform or improvment in reimbursement and CMS, and a couple other items. In part 2 of this two-part podcast series, we continue the "wish list" discussion with a focus on pain management technologies and their opportunity to grow in popularity given the anti-opioid environment. We also discuss the reimbursement process and the opportunity for improvement there.Listen to the podcast streaming via the player or get
