Sema4 (Nasdaq: SMFR), an AI-driven genomic and clinical data intelligence platform company, today announced plans to strengthen its Market Access team to drive increased market access for the company’s platform. The team’s key initiatives include improving commercial and reimbursement capabilities, developing new partnerships and strengthening existing relationships with payers and clinicians, and establishing broader patient access.

Jerry Conway has been appointed Senior Vice President of Market Access to lead these initiatives and to accelerate other market access initiatives already underway at Sema4. He will report to Isaac Ro, Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Conway has industry-leading experience working effectively with payers to obtain broad coverage across a variety of models throughout the industry, including value-based payment from Medicare, employers, and commercial payers.

Under Mr. Conway’s leadership, Sema4 plans to expand its Market Access team and payer-specific programs to enhance coverage and value-based payment of the company’s market-leading portfolio of genomic solutions, Centrellis®-powered insights, and data science capabilities. The team will engage with payers to further highlight the value of its offerings, demonstrating how Sema4 can uniquely optimize the clinician and patient experience, improve health outcomes, and reduce costs.

“Market Access is a key area of strategic focus for Sema4,” said Mr. Ro. “Jerry brings a complementary skillset and a longstanding track record of success to Sema4, which will help accelerate our commercial strategy. I am delighted to welcome him to the team and look forward to his future contributions.”
