Reimbursement Model in Germany
German law now allows direct contracts between providers and statutory health insurances. Telemonitoring services for patients with heart failure or diabetes have been implemented by many health insurances. (Note: Presently the German health system is financed by a levy of about 14% on all employment income and shared equally among employer and employee - for statutory health insurance). These services are free of charge for patients insured by the health insurance offering the service. GPs get reimbursed for payments for telephone or similar contacts after initial examination in the physician’s office and only GPs who are participating in the particular programme get reimbursed. For smart home solutions, no reimbursement schemes are in place yet.
