Abstract

Germany serves as a pioneering example for the integration of digital health applications. Since October 2020, digital health applications that passed a benefit evaluation have been provisionally or permanently included in the benefit basket of the German statutory health insurance. However, free price setting by the manufacturers in the first year after the introduction in the benefit basket led to high prices. After several policy debates, maximum reimbursement prices were introduced.
