Fifteen coders and analysts with years of experience

European Med Tech and IVD Reimbursement Consulting Ltd. (MTRC), is a provider of European reimbursement analyses, strategies and education in market access for the Med Tech and In-Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) industry.

The company is founded by Oleg Borisenko, MD, PhD, who has 13 years of experience in health economics, policy and reimbursement for medical devices and IVDs in Europe. Prior to establishing MTRC, Oleg led market access and health economic activities at Synergus AB, the European Med Tech consultancy.

The scope of our services covers 19 European countries

The scope of our services covers 19 European countries, including Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey.

Our team includes several experienced clinical coders and reimbursement analysts, and is complemented by affiliated senior reimbursement consultants from different major countries. Our analysts have an in-depth understanding of the coding and reimbursement landscape and processes in individual countries. Our analysts speak French, German, Italian, Turkish, Russian, Polish languages. We also have on-demand access to native speakers - specialists in health care systems in other key regions of Europe (Scandinavia, the Netherlands, Eastern European countries). 

Our core services include reimbursement analysis, development of reimbursement strategy and providing education in market access. We work across all settings: hospital, day case and ambulatory. We also cover all types of medical technologies, including hospital and ambulatory devices, in-vitro diagnostic tests, medical aids (for home use), and capital equipment. 

Typically, clients seek our help, when they need support in multiple European countries at the same time. While there are many country-specific consultancies in Europe (e.g. focused on the UK or DACH areas only), very few can provide simultaneous support in multiple markets. Among Pan-European consultancies, MTRC has the broadest geographical coverage and proven track record working with key industry players.
