About Health Policy Associates (HPA)

Since 1992, Health Policy Associates has been providing high quality consulting services to the medical biotechnology and medical device community. We serve our clients on an exclusive basis in areas of product development, regulatory and clinical consulting, strategic planning, clinical operations, operational staffing, and venture financing.

Regulatory, Clinical, and Quality Focus

Over three decades, HPA has evolved into a senior‑led, FDA‑focused partner for regulatory, clinical, and quality support, helping complex medical technologies reach the U.S. market while also supporting CE Mark and other international regulatory paths when required.

Our team has guided high‑stakes medtech and biotech programs through critical milestones, including Application Integrity Policy (AIP) data‑integrity cases, pivotal submissions, and inspection‑ready clinical trials.

How We Support Clients

HPA provides a personal, adaptable, and comprehensive approach to solving complex problems on multiple levels.

Long‑tenured Senior Core Team

The firm is built around a long‑tenured senior core team, with leaders who have worked together for many years and remain directly involved in delivery. This continuity reduces handoffs, preserves institutional knowledge, and provides sponsors with a stable counterpart as programs move from early strategy through execution.

FDA‑facing Third‑party Auditor

Our methods are informed by HPA’s history as an FDA‑facing third‑party auditor in AIP and related data‑integrity engagements, where our findings and recommendations fed directly into FDA decision‑making. The same audit‑grade rigor now underpins our regulatory counseling, clinical trial operations, and inspection‑ readiness work.

Complex Product Development

We are highly specialized in bringing product development, regulatory, and clinically focused strategic thinking to clients throughout the world, and we regularly work with some of the most unique and complex products in development. Our experience includes clarifying regulatory pathways, planning and managing clinical programs, and addressing quality and manufacturing gaps that could affect approval, inspection outcomes, or potential transactions.

Working With Sponsors and Investors

We maintain a connection with the medical device venture capital community, evaluating and managing investment opportunities and helping to identify promising, cutting‑edge medical technologies.

By combining regulatory and clinical expertise with product development and strategic insight, HPA supports both sponsors and investors in assessing risk and advancing innovations to market.

A Disciplined, End‑to‑End Approach

Health Policy Associates’ disciplined, end‑to‑end approach helps keep projects moving efficiently while maintaining a high standard of quality from beginning to end.
