The study investigates the effects of multidisciplinary treatment for rheumatic treatment regarding (a) financial feasibility based on costs/remuneration in comparison to conventional treatment and (b) Patient reported outcome measures (Proms) to check for effectiveness. For (a), cost data and remuneration with and without multimodal rheumatologic complex treatment (MRCT) is analysed, including cost types. The database encompasses 18,794 treatment cases. For (b), a case study with retrospective patient data analysis ( N  = 375, all treated in a specialized German hospital) regarding self-reported quality of life and physical functions is carried out for subjects receiving MRCT. While conventional treatment is fully covered, MRCT is only incentivized for cases with long in-patient treatment, so financial feasibility for hospitals is limited. Patients with MRCT reported significant improvements in quality of life ( p
