PECAN
Standard repayment phase
1. I am applying to join the common law system
- If my solution is a therapeutic digital MD, I have 6 months, from the start of anticipated coverage, to apply for registration on the list of products and services (LPP) in brand name.
- If my solution is a telemonitoring activity, I have 9 months, from the start of anticipated coverage to make a request for registration on the list of medical telemonitoring activities (LATM) in generic line or brand name.
2. The CNEDiMTS evaluates my file
- The evidence of clinical benefit or, failing that, progress in the organization of care in the case of a remote monitoring activity provided by my solution and demonstrated in my file are evaluated by the HAS.
3. My solution gets permanent reimbursement
- If the decision of the ministers in charge of health and social security is favorable, my solution is covered under common law for a period of several years, renewable. Before the deadline, I renew a request for coverage.
