DiGA listing - application and inclusion in the directory
The path to reimbursement of a DiGA/DiPA is full of regulatory hurdles, which we overcome together with you. We support you with the application to the BfArM and the preparation of all necessary documents, and make sure you avoid typical pitfalls. We give you a valid assessment of whether your product qualifies as a DiGA or DiPA and which requirements you have to fulfil, e.g. with regard to data protection, robustness, interoperability and proof of a positive supply effect. In addition, we advise you on other ways beyond standard care to get your Digital Health Application reimbursed, e.g. through selective contracts with health insurers.
Your benefit from our services:
- Highly competent support for the DiGA/DiPA consultation at the Innovation Office of the BfArM
- Comprehensive preparation for the application procedure and checking the application requirements
- Skillful development of an application strategy and submission of the application
Price negotiation: We maximise the remuneration amount of your Medical APP
For the DiGA/DiPA to be a lasting economic success, the price negotiation with the GKV-SV is the most critical success factor. The negotiators of the GKV-SV have an experience advantage over you. Therefore, you should not go into the negotiation unprepared. We develop a value story for you that highlights the value of your product and convinces in the negotiation.
The communicative strategy must also be right in order to achieve an optimal negotiation result. Here, co.value relies on solution-oriented communication based on Marshall B. Rosenberg's concept, which we have optimised specifically for remuneration amount negotiations. With this method, we have achieved excellent negotiation results, especially in difficult constellations.
Your benefit from our services:
- Development of a convincing pricing strategy
- Development of a compelling value story to support price negotiation
- Comprehensive preparation and competent support of the price negotiations with the GKV-SV based on the concept of solution-oriented communication
