MTRC has released a White Paper titled "Reimbursement of Day Case Surgery Procedures in Europe". Day case surgery, also known as same-day surgery, refers to procedures where patients are admitted, operated on, and discharged within the same day without requiring an overnight hospital stay.

From a reimbursement perspective, day case surgery provides important benefits for both healthcare providers and payers, including reduced healthcare costs, greater efficiency, and improved resource utilization.

However, the shift from inpatient to day case procedures may be limited by reimbursement systems that do not offer sufficient financial incentives. Therefore, it is vital for medical device companies to understand the reimbursement environment for day case procedures.

This white paper explores the reimbursement systems for day case (ambulatory) surgery in England, France, Germany, and Switzerland. With examples of several case studies, it highlights how reimbursement frameworks incentivize or hinder the adoption of day case procedures.
