Information on product reimbursement
Here are the regulations and the process for the reimbursement of our products:
1. Compliance with OBNP of December 16, 2016
(DFI Ordinance on foodstuffs intended for people with special nutritional needs - RS 817.022.104):
In accordance with the above-mentioned OBPN, our Easy Base+ and Xantacorn texturizing products have been declared to the OSAV/BLV (Office Fédérale pour la Santé Alimentaire et Vétérinaire) and have been granted marketing authorization under the designation.
Foodstuffs for special medical purposes" / "Denrée alimentaires destinées à des fins médicales spéciales
"Lebensmittel für besondere medizinische Zwecke" / "Alimenti a fini medicali speciali".
2. Reimbursements according to LIMA/MiGel criteria (Position 99.02.01.01.1) :
According to the provisions of the position in question, both Easy Base+ and Xantacorn, as thickening products in cases of dysphagia, are now reimbursable up to the following amounts:
- 0.54 Chf /portion (200 Ml. IDDSI 2) for EMS patients
- 0.60 Chf /portion (200 Ml. IDDSI 2) for patients living at home.
​
In view of the relatively low weight of our solutions in the preparation of dishes and textured beverages, it results in a number of portions at 200 IDDS 2 high enough to give a full refund of the price of these two products. This is on condition that both Easy Base+ and Xantacorn are prescribed by a doctor or approved therapist.
On request, we can send you a simple calculation tool of the units of our products you might need during a period of the year (i.e. one month, one quarter, one half or one year) depending on the number of dysphagic patients in your care units.
