Services of MTRC

In response to multiple requests from our clients, we have started the provision of service of health economic modeling for medical technologies and IVD tests in Europe. Both early and comprehensive models eligible for publication are supported.

We have released the second part of the interview on the Market Access Insider channel on Youtube. The interview covered key stakeholders, procedure coding, principles of functioning of DRG system and add-on reimbursement for medical devices via LPPR List. Reimbursement pathways for devices, evidence requirements, pricing considerations, innovation funding (PHRC, PRME, forfeit innovation, Article 51, ETAPES program) were also discussed.

Using its deep knowledge of market access pathways in Europe and a specific, fact-based, benchmarking approach, MTRC can support the development of reliable clinical and economic evidence generation strategy.
