- Key national organizations are includedThe service focuses on key national organizations and national legislation in each country. Organizations were selected on the basis of an audit of their activity and importance in the reimbursement framework. Regional organizations are not covered at the moment

Why use "Reimbursement Alerts"?
Timely access to essential informationYou can be the first to know about important developments for technology within the company and with your competition. Reimbursement decisions reveal new opportunities for your company's business
Ability to engage with reimbursement stakeholdersBy knowing about reimbursement development (e.g. consultation about new policy), you can engage with payors and decision-makers in a timely manner to give feedback on developments
Cost-effective approachNo single Med Tech company can afford such a massive screening and monitoring activity. You outsource an essential function of keeping the company up-to-date at a modest cost. You can save both time and money with an external reimbursement monitoring service. Both quarterly and annual payments are possible
Customized information in a user-friendly formatYou only get access to reimbursement information for countries (e.g., EMEA only) and technologies (e.g., peripheral vascular + all general news) of relevance to your position. Newsletters are easy to navigate and easy to distribute internally
Suitable for both middle-size companies and large corporationsThe service is suitable for both middle-size companies with 1-2 people in the market access function and large corporations. For small companies, the service is the only opportunity to keep track of significant developments, and for large corporations, it complements the internal effort
