Get ready. Even without coverage you will be held to the same expectations as areas where they have coverage. If you live in difficult MC landscape, you may never make it to 2018.Just talked with my new DM and she said our new drug will probably not have good managed care coverage until 2018. They can't negotiate pricing until it's approved. By then 2017 formularies will already be decided. WTF? Nobody mentioned this to me in the interview.
Not sure Shire is doing this the right way.
Are you stupid? You must be if KK "allowed" you to be hired. If you knew anything about launching a new product you would know there are a few states that do well right out of the gate - Texas, North Carolina, Indiana, etc... And usually because scripts go through. For others it's a huge challenge until you get the coverage. Obviously the OP is in one of these challenged markets.Your manager didn't discuss it with you since it is common sense. You were obviously a "bad hire" and have never launched a new product! This is common with a new drug and product launch. Relax.

You're kidding, right? This is one of those times when you should be grateful your post is anonymous.Just talked with my new DM and she said our new drug will probably not have good managed care coverage until 2018.

No, not really. You might want to do some research on managed care before you post such silliness.No, my manager is an idiot and youre a moron. Why would a new hire know that Most good companies have a plan to get the new drug on formulary within six mos. and most formularies wont even look at it until then. It will take this inbred company that long to know which way is up. So, take your attitude and shove it up your ass.
