VITH-compliant discounts on medicines

Since 1 January 2020, new legal provisions have been in force governing the handling of discounts on medicines. According to Art. 56 para. 3bis KVG and the Ordinance on Integrity and Transparency in the Therapeutic Products Sector (VITH), discounts on medicines may not be retained. This applies not only to discounts on the price of the medicine itself, but also to free deliveries, etc.

However, it is now possible to reclaim part of the discounts on the purchase of medicines from the service provider if these discounts can be proven to be used to ‘improve the quality of treatment’.

By signing up to the FMH framework agreement with HSK-CSS, SGH, in collaboration with proQura / Pro Medicus GmbH, has created the conditions for the new provisions to be implemented in a simple manner that complies with the law.
