Savage Health Policy, LLC
Started in 2022, Savage Health Policy, LLC is a health policy consulting practice founded on the principle that a health care system that incentivizes value and innovation can meet the needs of patients, providers, innovators, hospitals, health systems, and even payers.
With experience assisting a variety of health care stakeholders, SHP is uniquely positioned to provide strategic guidance to address clients’ immediate needs and insights into how their priorities fit within the broader healthcare delivery system.
SHP can help innovators shepherd disruptive health care technology through the complicated approval and coverage decision process, ensure that providers have a voice in the creation of fair and transparent reimbursement policy that prioritizes patient-centered care, help health systems and practices adapt to the volatile health care economy, and amplify the voices of patients and caregivers to ensure they remain at the center of their own health care.
