NEWS: DRG, OPS, EBM Update 2022

In late October 2021, the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices has published the final version of the procedure codes for 2022 . The OPS, together with the ICD-10-GM forms the basis for the reimbursement systems in outpatient and inpatient care.

278 proposals, submitted by representatives of the professional societies and associations, health insurance companies, and healthcare institutions, were incorporated in the OPS catalogue for 2022.

 

The revised EBM catalog is valid since October 1st, 2021. The reimbursement of services in the public outpatient sector in Germany is regulated in the EBM catalogue, updated once in a quarter (4 times a year). The adaption time frame of the EBM catalogue for a specific code is around five years but varies depending on the evidence.

 

The chances of success for reimbursement pathways and individual coding in the hospital sector are moderate and hold many hurdles for a manufacturer. A well-prepared market access strategy is therefore essential. Contact us for more information.
