Market Access Monitor

Service of monitoring key reimbursement and HTA developments for medical devices, in-vitro diagnostic tests, and digital technologies in Europe and globally

Market access is an actively developing, dynamic field with regular changes in coding, reimbursement and HTA systems. 

Typical changes in the system include the release of new procedure codes; changes in the payment system (Diagnosis-Related Groups [DRGs] and add-on reimbursement); new published and initial health technology assessments (HTAs), coverage decisions from payers and decision-makers; structural changes in the system, release or update of clinical practice guidelines, and changes in the innovation payment schemes.

Market access and HEOR professionals closely monitor reimbursement and HTA changes for the products under their supervision. The key challenges for effective monitoring are the large number of organizations to follow, language barriers, and lack of time to properly perform the necessary review.

MTRC offers a unique service of monitoring new reimbursement and HTA information for medical technologies in Europe and globally so that our clients do not miss a single relevant reimbursement or HTA decision for their technology. 

Key Features of Market Access Monitor

More than 120 reimbursement and 500 HTA news items every two weeks.

EU and global coverage

The service includes key reimbursement organizations (payers, decision-makers, DRG administrators, and developers of procedure codes) in Europe and all relevant HTA organizations globally (EU, Americas, APAC). In total, 67 reimbursement organizations from 15 EU countries and 85 HTA organizations from 38 countries globally are monitored

Key national and regional organizations are included

Reimbursement Monitor focuses on key national organizations and national legislation in each country. HTA Monitor includes national and regional HTAs. Organizations were selected on the basis of an audit of their activity and importance in the reimbursement/HTA framework

Timely access to essential information presented in English

Access to Monitor is organized via online Database or email Alerts. Information is shared every two weeks. Each report is made up of a title, a brief summary in English, and a link that can be followed to further investigate each report. Each release of information covers reports that were initiated/published during the last two weeks

Both general and technology-specific news are included

The service captures both general (e.g., the release of the next year’s DRG system or new program at NICE) and technology-specific (e.g., coverage decision or new HTA for transcatheter aortic valve implantation) news

All reports are classified according to 31 technology groups

The service helps to focus only on technologies of interest (e.g., cardiovascular or neuromodulating devices) and avoids wasting time on irrelevant reports

Personalized information and an unlimited number of users

All reports are customized based on the client's preferences about geographical (you can select only particular countries for monitoring) and technological (e.g., only news for neuromodulation technologies) coverage. The number of enrolled users from one company is unlimited 

Reports are developed using a manual search

The search and categorization of identified reports are performed manually by MTRC analysts – no search robots are utilized for identification and clarification of relevant information
