Webinar: Coverage with Evidence Development / Innovation pathway

Webinar

In this Webinar, we will explore how the French system for "Coverage with Evidence Development" programs and Innovation Pathways, and how they provide early access to innovative medical devices even when pivotal data is still under development or not yet initiated.  

Coverage with Evidence Development (CED) Programs

PECT offers a path for innovative medical devices to receive provisional reimbursement, even in the absence of full clinical data. The idea is to grant access to innovative technologies while simultaneously collecting data to support their continued reimbursement.
