Karolinska Development's portfolio company OssDsign reports substantial progress in the process towards reimbursement of OSSDSIGN PSI in France
STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN – 23 May 2019. Karolinska Development AB (Nasdaq Stockholm: KDEV) announces today that its portfolio company OssDsign has experienced a substantial step forward in the process towards reimbursement of OSSDSIGN Cranial PSI in France. Hauté Autorité de Santé (HAS), the French health technology assessment institute, has given an initial positive opinion regarding use of OssDsigns unique product for cranioplasty to be covered by the French national reimbursement system. France is the only remaining European key market where OSSDSIGN Cranial PSI to date lacks reimbursement.
Following the notice from HAS, OssDsign's application can proceed to the next stage of the application process where a specific reimbursement level for OSSDSIGN Cranial PSI can be determined. As a result of the positive notice from HAS, OssDsign will now intensify its preparations for launching in France during the second half of 2019. France is the only key market in Europe where OssDsign, due to lack of reimbursement, has not yet launched OSSDSIGN Cranial PSI. OssDsign has already established sales organizations and has access to reimbursement systems in the other key European markets.
