Report includes essential information about reimbursement and national funding, including: brief overview of reimbursement system for medical devices, procedure coding for technology, diagnosis coding, payment mechanism for technology, reimbursement tariffs for technology, restrictions in indications or scenarios for use of technology, policy considerations by payers and policy-makers about technology. Rport focuses solely on reimbursement of robotic-assisted procedures and does not provide information about procurement of robotic equipment. The report explores reimbursement situations for procedure in 11 European countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland.




Robotic surgery is an emerging procedure in Europe. While surgical robots are widely disseminated across hospitals in European countries, the application of robots is limited to a number of clinical indications.

A majority of the studied countries have established procedure coding for robotic surgery, but reimbursement in most of the cases does not differ from reimbursement procedures performed with a laparoscopic approach. In a very small number of cases, specific reimbursement has been established for robotic surgery.
