Decisions on general reimbursement for medicinal products

The Danish Medicines Agency makes decisions in cases concerning application for general reimbursement for medicinal products. The decisons are made on the basis of the criteria set forth in Executive Order no. 728 of 30 May 2022 (in Danish).

Prescription-only medicinal products

General reimbursement

Companies can apply to the Danish Medicines Agency for general reimbursement of a prescription-only medicinal product they bring onto the Danish market. If the medicinal product is eligible for general reimbursement, the Danish regions offer reimbursement when the product is bought on prescription at a pharmacy.

General conditional reimbursement

Some medicinal products carry general conditional reimbursement, which means that reimbursement is conditional on the medicine prescribed for the treatment of certain diseases or for certain patient groups (general conditional reimbursement). The doctor must write the Danish word "tilskud" (reimbursement) on the prescription.

Guiding criteria for single reimbursement

We have established guiding criteria for the granting of single reimbursement in respect of medicines that are not eligible for general reimbursement.

Over-the-counter medicines

As regards over-the-counter medicines, reimbursement is subject to the medicinal product being prescribed for the treatment of specific diseases or patient groups determined by the Danish Medicines Agency (general conditional reimbursement).
