A specific coding system for medical services is a necessary prerequisite for adequately reflecting innovative medical devices and procedures within the German healthcare system.
Only when a service can be uniquely coded can specific reimbursement be provided.
A corresponding OPS code can be proposed through the proposal process at the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM).
For the implementation of a new OPS code to be successful, a well-crafted proposal is essential. From the perspective of the OPS classification system, this proposal should provide a coherent and comprehensible rationale for why further differentiation is necessary, given the already highly differentiated nature of the OPS system.
Preparing an OPS proposal therefore requires in-depth knowledge of reimbursement and classification systems, as well as experience with decision-making processes in the German healthcare system.
Healthcare Heads has been successfully supporting medtech companies with these services for over 10 years.
