The 2025 List of Innovative Procedures Outside the Nomenclature (LAHN) was published in France

On August 5, 2025, the Ministry of Labor, Health, Solidarity, and Families published the 2025 version of the List of Innovative Procedures Outside the Nomenclature (LAHN), which specifies tests funded under the innovative payment scheme for in-vitro diagnostics (RIHN). Tariffs for tests included in the LAHN were expected to decrease by 20% annually from January 1, 2025, except for those with a positive evaluation by the French National Authority for Health (HAS) in defined clinical indications. However, unlike previous edition, the 2025 LAHN does not specify tariffs. It introduces 14 new codes, which duplicate existing generic codes but are restricted to the clinical indications positively assessed by HAS. These new codes will be exempt from the annual tariff reduction.
