about mereso

Within the European healthcare systems, development and implementation of targeted reimbursement strategies are key for market access and commercial success. Reimbursement plans may thereby include mid- and long-term funding strategies as well as interim funding options.

mereso focuses on funding and reimbursement of medical devices in the DACH countries, helping you to bring your products to the patients as quickly as possible. Based on long-standing project experience and in-depth knowledge of the DACH reimbursement systems, mereso is at your side with advice and ongoing support to

  • Achieve an optimal reimbursement situation for novel technologies
  • Improve the reimbursement situation of already introduced methods

mereso is cooperating with an international network of experienced partners to satisfy your needs for tailored solutions outside the DACH region.
