Application for reimbursement of nutritional products from the Regional Council
The Danish Medicines Agency authorises nutritional products eligible for reimbursement from the Regional Council.
Companies that want a product to be included on the Danish Medicines Agency’s lists of reimbursable nutritional products should send a fully completed application form and any relevant documentation as well as pay the charged fee to the Danish Medicines Agency.
The majority of applications are presented to the members of the Danish Medicines Agency’s Authorisation Panel who meet four times a year. Please send your application no later than one month before the meeting at which you want us to assess your application.
When marketed the nutritional product must be notified to the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration according to the rules on food for special medical purposes. Read the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration’s guideline on notification (in Danish).
