Support with OPS Coding and Reimbursement
For all currently active centres in Germany, it was possible to work out satisfactory reimbursement options with Lifebridge Medizintechnik that also withstood auditing by the MDKs (Medizinischer Dienst der Krankenversicherungen – health insurances’ medical services). Reimbursement is effected either by means of an additional fee agreed upon for the particular hospital or directly via the DRG (Diagnosis Related Groups) system by obtaining DRGs with a high relative weight. According to the latest analyses, investment and consumption costs can be covered adequately with the current reimbursement options.
We would be glad to support you with working out a satisfactory reimbursement option for using the LIFEBRIDGE® at your location, too. For negotiations with cost bearers, Lifebridge Medizintechnik will provide documents for real cost calculation, OPS coding help, and real-life example cases.
For more details on the subject of reimbursement please refer to our latest brochure, “Reimbursement 2009 – LIFEBRIDGE®".
We have set up a central e-mail address for inquiries and suggestions concerning the subject of reimbursement:
