New version of the intra-DRG list published in France

Certain medical devices are financed within the DRG tariff but require explicit review of clinical evidence by the National Committee for the Evaluation of Medical Devices and Health Technologies (CNEDiMTS) to ensure that they are safe and effective. This mechanism is called “intra-DRG” (intra-GHS) coverage. The mechanism is applicable to particularly invasive devices. Only devices listed in the intra-GHS list can be purchased by hospitals.

On August 5, 2021, the new intra-DRG list was published. However, no major changes were introduced in this version compared to the version of November 2020. No new devices were added to the list. More changes are expected at the end of September 2021.
