French hospital reimbursement system
This online on-demand 40-minute seminar gives a comprehensive understanding of the hospital reimbursement landscape for medical devices in France. Available as pre-recorded webinar or full presentation in Acrobat PDF
France is one of the largest markets for medical devices in Europe.
French reimbursement is very complex and has high evidence requirements. However, once reimbursement is obtained, a product can benefit from access to the large population. France has a unique possibility to establish a brand-specific reimbursement for expensive implants and invasive non-implantable medical devices via LPPR List.
The French system has unparalleled in Europe opportunities for coverage with evidence development (PHRC and PRME programs), innovation funding (innovation package), telemedicine (ETAPES program) and bundled funding for novel models of care (Article 51 regulation).
France also has a unique approach for funding of innovative tests via so-called RIHN nomenclature.
It is essential for medical device and IVD companies to understand the pathways to the ultimate goal of reimbursement (integration into DRG or add-on reimbursement) and opportunities for early funding and coverage with evidence development in France. We offer a seminar on critical elements of the hospital reimbursement system for medical devices that can guide your decision-making in this complex country.
