Norwegian hospital reimbursement system
This online on-demand 20-minute seminar gives a comprehensive understanding of the hospital reimbursement landscape for medical devices in Norway. Available as pre-recorded webinar or full presentation in Acrobat PDF
Norway is a very attractive market for medical device companies.
Despite its relatively small population, Norway is a very rich and innovation-friendly country. However, due to a number of factors, market access is the most complicated compared with other Nordic countries.
Entry into the Norwegian market can be a challenge both from both reimbursement (DRG system) and funding (approval for use within hospitals) perspectives. Due to a significant (up to 50%) contribution to hospital revenue, DRG tariffs have an important role for medical procedures. Also, since 2013, all significant innovations should undergo a national or local evaluation before they can be approved for use in the Norwegian health care system (“New methods” framework).
We offer a seminar on critical elements of the hospital reimbursement system for medical devices in Norway that can guide your decision-making about the introduction of novel technologies into this complex market.
