so when Bayer had the pump it was an apple, then you have it and you call it an orange ?

that just doest make sense

Based on your response it appears you are either drunk or just can't spell. Again the Bayer analogy is apples and oranges. Totally a different situation. Go back to the bottle. We will be focused on changing the market. I will pray for your healing.

Thanks but pray for your company. And Please don't lie to sales reps; we have heard enough management " change healthcare" silliness

So nice to see non-educated foul mouth people that are not welcome at a company try and bash it. You obviously have never worked in managed care or understand simple economics. Non-compliant type II diabetes patients end up in hospitals. When they do an average hospital stay could cost upwards of $20-30K or even higher. Managed care companies do this math when making a decision. When you consider that ITCA 650 will make a patient 100% compliant this is a "real" change in the quality of care. So managed care would most likely pay between $10-$20k and the statistical analysis they all do will show that it is an advantage to do the implant. Oh an you obviously never read the phase II studies where nausea was reduced from 21% with Byetta to 2% with ITCA 650 and yet another reason patients will be compliant on ITCA 650.
.

It's simple math Intarcia marketing troll chump.

So which payer is going to fork out 4X more for your bout to patent expire pump vs. slew of PROVEN weekly GLP-1 drugs? OK maybe for those few % with history of emergency room visits provided the patients don't mind that foreign POS in their tummy and multiple surgeries which itself begs the question of is that part of the pump cost or extra? Anyone who has been to urgent care for few stitches know how expensive these minor surgeries get.

Comparing twice daily Byetta, well known shitty formula that AstraZeneca gave away to Teva for pittance, to your implant is comparing real apple to apple to ya? As for made up Ph II data about 2% nausea rate - hell that's way below all other marketed GLP-1s when your pump has very concentrated dose?

But that is if you chumps can hide the weenie from FDA on KNOWN impurities issue, huh?

As I said before. Go back to big pharma and the bottle. You are not cut for a start-up that is about to change the world. You don't understand managed care at all and you obviously don't understand why patent life doesn't matter. Go away. Stay in big pharma and die a slow death.

You obviously don't understand pharmacoeconomics. Just 1 hospital visit costs tens of thousands of dollars. If Intarcia can have 100% compliance, which it can with the implant, then it can reduce hospital admissions. 1 Hospital admission saved will treat hundreds of patients. Since you don't know who will be compliant on GLP-1 drugs and who will not it makes sense to get people off the unknown therapy and onto the known 100% compliance product. Statistics matter and if Intarcia can get even a 1% reduction in hospital admissions it will save managed care companies millions. This is simple math and MCO's get it. It appears you don't understand this and you are a low information pharma person. Stay in big pharma and go make calls and drop samples.

More BS gobbledygook from minds of marketing bozos holed up too long in the office. Been out in the field much?

It's all about cost! You think the payers really gives shit about patients? It's all $$$s chump.

Now why won't you respond about prohibitive costs on 1st year (vs. $5k for weekly GLP-1):

1. 3-month starter implant plus implantation surgery
2. 6-month implant plus explantatiion and implantation surgeries
3. 9-month implant plus explantatiion and implantation surgeries

And if patents demand that implant be removed due to nasty side effects - who will pay? It's not like stop taking pills or injection.

How many physicians used to writing prescriptions will embrace performing surgeries in their office (not to mention follow-ups and other complications, malpractice, etc)?

Just hope for fraction of a percent at best and yeah big pharmas will crush Intarcia to smithereens.

Like I said before cost savings to mco is reason they will cover but your too uneducated to understand. Doctors will do procedure because its a revenue stream. GPs will like the?added revenue. Why give money to just pharma company with an rx when you the doctor can also make money? Too bad u didnt make the cut to work at Intarcia

Thanks - sounds good. How much will gp make per insertion ? How would you model revenue stream for a GP who has 25 pts on bayetta/bydureon and switches them to INTC implant ? Is it the first year revenue that is the most attractive (3 insertions/2 withdrawls) ? I know my docs would go for this once they know how much they can make.

Now you understand - sell the spread - docs love to make money and this is the way to get use

WTF? What do you expect from Hayweird close to LGBT haven SF?

Now are you inferring the "leaders" are gays at Intarcia? Oh fuckin aye?

Is it really all about Hayweird ? Boston seems like the Castro

 

[anonymous]

Have they started the hiring process for the field sales force? I only see that they are hiring District managers.

Is this open ? Can you advise on bonus salary car and launch date. Serious replies only. Thanks

Rep positions should be posted soon. Salaries should be commensurate with med device reps and should be high bonus potential. car allowance. Launch probably first quarter 2018. Most likely contingency offers to reps once the product is approved. All guesses though.

Right genius - alas if the managed care payers will the pick up the Intracia's and docs fat profit margins...

What is the target cost to the payer for the 1st year with the juicy doc spreads, again?

Greatful for inclusiveness. It is rare to find a true LGBT friendly environment and Intarcia is embracing me with warmth. To know that our leaders live the lifestyle and are proud to show off their "best friend" is a clear statement that we are a true family. "Real men dress with style to attract other real men".

Congratulations and good luck. Maybe for your sake they'll overcome age discrimination in a decade or two.

So you think you got passed up because of your age? Really? Explain what background you had and then why you thought age was the motivating factor?

Who showed off the lifestyle?

So who are the "real men" in charge in Boston and Hayweird? Guess picking up and hiring gay men for manly love is the modus operandi at the company's critical juncture? Bunch of sickos...

No thanks as the obligatory visit to the local bathhouses part of final interviews?
