Executive Summary
Germany's statutory health insurers are nonplussed by a letter sent by the industry association for medical devices (BVMed) to their own leading association, on the subject of their refusal to reimburse medical aids in nursing homes. BVMed said that it had been alerted by its member companies to the fact that the association of the statutory health insurers had advised their individual members against reimbursement.
