BEO BERLIN provides manufacturers with reliable and expert support throughout the listing process in the Swiss MiGeL.
Introduction to the List of Medical Aids and Appliances (MiGeL)
The list of medical aids and appliances (MiGeL) is an essential part of the Swiss healthcare system. It forms an appendix to the Health Care Services Ordinance (KLV) and covers all resources and items that can be used in the context of care services in accordance with Article 25a of the Health Insurance Act (KVG). This list contains products that are used by insured persons themselves, by persons not professionally involved in the examination or treatment, by nursing homes, nursing care and home help organisations or by nursing professionals. The products on the MiGeL are covered by compulsory health insurance (OKP).
The Federal Commission for Analysis, Resources and Materials (EAMGK) is responsible for assessing applications for inclusion in the MiGeL. It checks whether the criteria of effectiveness, appropriateness and cost-effectiveness are met before making a recommendation to the Federal Department of Home Affairs (EDI).
Support from BEO BERLIN with Product Listing
BEO BERLIN is a provider of comprehensive services in the healthcare sector and provides daily support in meeting the regulatory requirements imposed on manufacturers and their products.
Since the 1st of November 2021, BEO BERLIN has also been offering the provision of a Swiss representative (CH-REP). This service is particularly important for non-Swiss economic operators who are required to appoint a CH-REP in order to place their products on the Swiss market. This is a consequence of the regulatory separation between Switzerland and the European Union, which requires mutual recognition of representatives.
BEO BERLIN acts as an interface between manufacturers and regulatory institutions and supports companies in the introduction of Quality Management Systems. BEO BERLIN also offers seminars on medical device law, making us a comprehensive service provider in the healthcare market.
The MiGeL is a central element of the Swiss healthcare system that ensures that certain medical products are covered by compulsory health insurance. BEO BERLIN offers valuable support to manufacturers who wish to have their products listed in Switzerland by acting as a representative and assisting with regulatory requirements.
