With ongoing healthcare reforms and payer budget cut-backs, reimbursement operations for innovative medical products in European countries are increasingly challenging for the medical device industry, leading executives to explore and identify new ways to obtain market access. The Swiss healthcare industry is well-funded and has experienced tremendous growth over the past decade due in part to government supported programs and advantageous tax incentives. Through this real life case study, participants will learn more about paths and pitfalls in obtaining medical device reimbursement in Switzerland and provide first-hand insight for obtaining product reimbursement in inpatient (DRG) and outpatient settings (FFS).

• Brief overview of Swiss healthcare environment and applicable device regulations
• Reimbursement pathways and pricing and payment systems
• Differentiating between inpatient and outpatient settings
• Updates on TARMED/TARVISION
