Here is a big update in 🇩🇪 German healthcare: The final hurdle for the hospital reform law has finally been overcome! The Krankenhausversorgungsverbesserungsgesetz (KHVVG) aims to transform the quality of hospital care and reshape the DRG related payment model for hospitals. Last Friday, the German Bundesrat voted to proceed with the KHVVG, avoiding the law from needing to reenter negotiations. Key highlights of the KHVVG include: restructuring underutilized hospitals into care centers, transitioning from case-based DRG payments to preliminary payment funds, introducing new performance groups and establishing a transformation fund to support the rollout and sustainability of these changes. The KHVVG is expected to come into effect starting January 1st 2025, with changes gradually implemented over the following years. If you’re wondering how these changes might impact your #marketaccess strategy or #reimbursement approach in Germany, AiM can help you stay ahead of the curve. Don’t hesitate to contact us to discuss how the #KHVVG could open new opportunities for your technology! #medtech #medicaldevice

Did you know that 🇩🇪 Germany has reworked how reimbursement for 🩹 wound care products works from the bottom up? Previously, there were no specific definitions for wound care products, leading to immediate coverage in the German #reimbursement system upon launch. Now, #woundcare products have been defined and classified by the G-BA. Definitions now include three categories: bandages, bandages with additional properties and other products for wound treatment. The other products for wound treatment category requires special attention, as this might necessitate an HTA to get coverage under Annex Va of the Drug Guideline. At the same time, there is a scientific consultation to inquire about evidence requirements! If you are visiting #MEDICA2024 and are wondering how your would care product fits into these new classifications, AiM CEO, Michael Weisser and International Business Specialist, Christian Minnie, will be there to talk with you about how your device can take advantage of these new opportunities. If you would like to organize a meeting with them at MEDICA, feel free to contact us or just look for them at the Berlin-Brandenburg region booth in Hall 14 /Booth D21 from November 11th to 14th. We look forward to seeing you at MEDICA 2024! #marketaccess #medtech

Did you know that 🇩🇪 Germany raised the risk class acceptable for digital applications (Medical devices)? The #DiGA scheme has been a leader in the European introduction of digital apps to the statutory health system. Previously, DiGA compatible applications could only be low risk class (I/IIa). Now the accepted risk class includes IIb. DiGA devices must still be able to primarily provide a benefit to a patient by its digital function, not solely by physician involvement. If you are visiting #MEDICA2024 and are wondering if your digital app can enter Germany through the DiGA pathway, AiM CEO, Michael Weisser and International Business Specialist, Christian Minnie, will be there to talk with you about how your device can take advantage of these new opportunities. If you would like to organize a meeting with them at MEDICA, feel free to contact us or just look for them at the Berlin-Brandenburg region booth in Hall 14 /Booth D21 from November 11th to 14th. We look forward to seeing you at MEDICA 2024! #marketaccess #medtech #reimbursement

Did you know that 🇩🇪 Germany is increasing their focus on outpatient care? Through the ongoing reforms, Germany has created a new type of #reimbursement scheme to finance specific outpatient procedures through the DRG system: HybridDRGs. Additionally, the AOP catalog, or list of outpatient procedures executable in a hospital setting, is undergoing further expansion. With these changes, the outpatient reimbursement landscape has never been so dynamic! If you are visiting #MEDICA2024 and have a #medicaldevice that can be used in the outpatient setting (or can even be used in inpatient as well), AiM CEO, Michael Weisser and International Business Specialist, Christian Minnie, will be there to talk with you about how your device can take advantage of these new opportunities. If you would like to organize a meeting with them at MEDICA, feel free to contact us or just look for them at the Berlin-Brandenburg region booth in Hall 14 /Booth D21 from November 11th to 14th. We look forward to seeing you at MEDICA 2024! #medtech #marketaccess
