Reimbursement analysis and strategy

Optimize your business decisions with our best-in-class overview of reimbursement status and strategy for medical technologies in Europe

Contact us

Our two core services are the provision of off-the-shelf and on-demand reimbursement analysis and the development of reimbursement strategy for medical devices in 19 European countries + Australia and Canada

Analysis

Reimbursement

  • Availability of procedure / reimbursement code
  • Reimbursement mechanism (diagnosis-related group or fee for service)
  • Availability of add-on reimbursement
  • Availability of innovation funding
  • Reimbursement tariffs

National funding

Willingness to pay for technology, based on:

  • Statements from national commissioners (e.g., NHS England)
  • Health Benefit Catalogues (e.g. in Spain, LEA Levels in Italy)
  • National clinical guidance (e.g. NICE in the UK, Haute Autorité de Santé in France, Socialstyrelsen in Sweden)
  • National health technology assessments in connection with reimbursement decisions (e.g. NICE for Technology Appraisal in the UK, Haute Autorité de Santé in France)
  • Specific funding frameworks (e.g., “New method” in Norway)
Strategy

Reimbursement strategy

Pathway to get reimbursement:

  • Overview of drivers and barriers for adoption
  • Overview of key reimbursement and funding pathways (including state-sponsored studies and innovation funding)
  • Detailed presentation of individual pathways (process, stakeholders, requirements, timelines)
  • Action plan

We tailor our services to fit your requirements and budget

Our solutions vary from low cost off-the-shelf EU reimbursement reports for dozens of technologies to customized reimbursement mapping, evidence and reimbursement strategy projects. Contact us to determine the most optimal solution for your business decisions
