Reimbursement Consulting for Denmark, Norway and Sweden

See all reimbursement consulting services.

Medical device reimbursement policies in Europe do not apply consistently across member states the way CE certification for medical devices does. Instead, health care policies of individual governments dictate how medical devices are reimbursed in particular markets.

Reimbursement Consulting Services for Denmark, Norway and Sweden

Although Denmark, Norway and Sweden are all independent nations, their health care systems and reimbursement practices are similar. Emergo Group consultants have extensive experience with medical device reimbursement in Scandinavia. Our European staff can navigate the medical device reimbursement processes in Denmark, Norway and Sweden to help maximize your ability to obtain the largest reimbursement rates possible for your device.

In all of these markets, county- and municipal-level authorities play a large role in administering health care services, as well as setting local health care budgets and overseeing procurement of medical devices and supplies. Danish, Norwegian and Swedish health ministries set national-level health policies, and also provide coordination and advisory services on the local level. Medical device reimbursement in Scandinavia is typically handled through the Nordic diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) in Denmark, Norway and Sweden: http://www.nordcase.org/eng/nordic_drg-system_/. Prices for DRGs are determined at the national level, but county governments can utilize bilateral agreements to make their own pricing decisions.
