France has recently launched PECAN, a new fast-track market access pathway for digital health solutions, aiming at accelerating the adoption of innovative digital health solutions. It allows for a one-year reimbursement period for digital solutions before entering the standard reimbursement system. Also, after several years of experiments, medical telemonitoring will enter the standard reimbursement system starting July 1st, 2023.
This webinar is a great opportunity to gain an understanding of the French reimbursement landscape and how the French system differs from other countries’ systems. You will also learn about the different steps of the reimbursement process for medical devices and what it means from a Finnish health tech company’s perspective. You’ll hear about the latest developments around reimbursement: the PECAN fast-track initiative and reimbursement of telemonitoring solutions and get insights on how to enter the French healthcare market.
This online event is organized by the Embassy of Finland in Paris and Business Finland in collaboration with MD101 Consulting, and is reserved for Finnish companies.
