Finding the right route to reimbursement.
Reimbursement for medical devices in Europe follows several possible routes, and the right one depends on product, setting and country.
- DRG system changes — new or adjusted DRG codes and tariffs to cover hospital-based procedures.
- Implant and medical aids list inclusion — listing on national or regional reimbursement lists.
- Indirect pathways — procurement, innovation funding and other routes when no direct pathway exists.
