Portuguese hospital reimbursement system
This online on-demand seminar gives a comprehensive understanding of the hospital reimbursement landscape for medical devices in Portugal. Provided in the form of the presentation in Acrobat PDF
Portugal offers a relatively easy introduction of novel medical technologies into its healthcare system; however, budgetary concerns exist.
Hospitals are primarily funded using a global budget principle, with adjustments using a DRG system. The reimbursement system is relatively static. The role of health technology assessment is growing, but currently, it plays a very limited role in the introduction of medical technologies.
We offer a seminar on critical elements of the hospital reimbursement system for medical devices in Portugal that can guide your decision-making about the introduction of novel technologies into this market.
