Evidence leadership

The evidence bar, read from the inside.

Reimbursement is won or lost on the evidence, and on knowing how an assessor reads it. COO Dr Mark DaCosta, a former Notified Body reviewer, and our biometry function led by Chief Data Officer Sébastien Meier Piantanida, 30 years in the field, design comparator studies mapped to CNEDiMTS and IQWiG expectations from the first protocol.

Two markets, two pathways

France and Germany, mapped step by step.

Each market has its own logic. We design the evidence to the pathway, not the other way around, so the comparator, endpoints and health-economic data are right from the first protocol.

FAQ

Reimbursement, answered.

How does medical device reimbursement work in France?

The CNEDiMTS commission at HAS first rules on the clinical benefit (Service Attendu), which must be sufficient for a device to reach the LPPR. It then grades the clinical added value (ASA) from I to V, which drives CEPS pricing and LPPR listing.

What is the LPPR and how do I get a device listed?

The LPPR is the French List of Reimbursable Products and Services. Listing follows a clinical assessment by HAS and CNEDiMTS. Only devices judged to have a sufficient clinical benefit are eligible.

How does medical device reimbursement work in Germany?

The G-BA is the central decision body, IQWiG appraises the evidence and InEK manages the DRG system. For new hospital methods, a NUB application to InEK can open temporary reimbursement while evidence is collected, and high-risk device methods trigger early benefit assessment under Section 137h.

What are PECAN and DiGA?

PECAN is the French early access scheme for therapeutic and telemonitoring digital medical devices. DiGA is the German fast track for digital health applications, listed by BfArM under the Digital Healthcare Act, with a provisional listing that can convert to permanent.

Do you run reimbursement and market access clinical studies?

Yes. Eclevar designs and runs the comparator-based clinical investigations, PMCF surveys and real-world evidence studies that French and German HTA bodies expect.

How long does reimbursement take in France and Germany?

Timelines depend on the device, the evidence and the pathway, and some steps are deadline-bound, such as Section 137h and the annual NUB cycle. Early access schemes like PECAN and DiGA can bridge the gap while evidence is generated.
