Use HMV updates to reassess the chances of success of paused applications:
It is worth taking a look at change.
Ins Stocken geratene HMV-Anträge, weil die Produkte sich nicht kategorisieren ließen oder Anforderungen nicht erfüllten, bleiben oft liegen und geraten in Vergessenheit. Wir blicken an dieser Stelle auf die diesjährigen Fortschreibungen zurück. So dass Sie eventuell stillgelegte Anträge hervorholen und deren Erfolgschance erneut bewerten können. Sehr häufig ist mit den Fortschreibungen auch eine Erweiterung an Produktarten verbunden. Bei anderen Fortschreibungen fallen evtl. Prüfungen weg oder Technische Daten verändern sich, wie es im April bei Pflegebetten geschehen ist. Es lohnt sich immer einen Blick in die Veränderungen zu werfen.

Always keep an eye on HMV updates for listed products
Timely and adequate responses are important.
If your products are already listed, you must pay appropriate attention to the HMV-Updates and the associated requests from the GKV Spitzenverband to update the documentation. Responding in a timely and adequate manner is paramount. Those who fail to respond to changes in requirements of various kinds will find that the listed products are removed from the list of medical aids. Difficulties with cost reimbursement are then almost inevitable. Information on updates to the product groups of the GKV umbrella organisation can be found here.
Das Hilfsmittelverzeichnis und die Anlage Pflegehilfsmittelverzeichnis, welche der National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Funds in Germany (GKV-Spitzenverband) compiles in accordance with §139 SGB V, is a systematically structured catalogue. It lists the aids covered by the health and long-term care insurance funds' obligation to provide benefits. The catalogue is divided into 37 different product groups based on the respective therapeutic objective. The nursing aids catalogue consists of a further 4 product groups.
Our customers with corresponding service contracts will of course be informed in good time about the nature and scope of any changes.
