- Payor engagement regarding reimbursement and coverage transitions

“We understand that the FDA is at full capacity managing the backlog of COVID-19 related filings creating longer than expected review timelines. We are confident a decision regarding approval of the 180-day system will be made in the coming weeks as the FDA continues to clear out the backlog,” said Tim Goodnow, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Senseonics. “In 2021 we integrated operations and coordination activities with our commercial collaborator Ascensia Diabetes Care. A thoughtful go-to-market strategy is being designed to target a smooth transition to the 180-day system while providing uninterrupted service for patients, providers and payors.
