Key information
During 2022: implementation of the system
Challenge
The innovation and life cycle of digital MDs is shorter and faster than non-digital MDs. The public consultation highlighted the need for clarity in the mechanisms for access to reimbursement.
Description
The Social Security Financing Act 2022 provides for a new transitional and temporary one-year reimbursement access scheme allowing :
- Ensure rapid acess to innovation
- Require companies to provide the required data for the evaluation of their coverage
It will be restricted, after validation of technical criteria, to digital solutions presumed to be innovative in terms of remote monitoring and digital therapies also known as "digital therapeutics" or DTx.
