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.
