AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The decree creates a three-year transition period for older medical remote monitoring activities when a better-performing activity is added to the official reimbursement list for the same medical indication. At the end of that 36-month period, the older reference activity is removed from the list. During the transition, the technical fee paid for the older activity is reduced step by step: 10% in the first year, then an additional 10% in the second year, and another additional 10% in the third year. Remote monitoring providers, healthcare organizations, and companies offering these services should expect declining reimbursement before the older activity is phased out.
