As part of the revision of the List of Means and Devices (MiGeL\/LiMa) to reduce health care costs, the Federal Office of Public Health (SFOPH) has decided to drastically reduce the mandatory benefits paid by health insurance companies for the rental of alarm systems for the treatment of enuresis (MiGeL 15.20). <\/span>The new uniform rate of 30 centimes per day came into force on April 1, 2019.<\/b><\/p>\n As a result of this decision by the SFOPH<\/b>, behavioural therapy by alarm system is now only marginally reimbursed by the KVG\/LAMal, <\/span>which disadvantages families<\/b>, particularly those with limited financial resources, who no longer have access to the most effective treatment against bedwetting.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.11.1″]<\/p>\n Moreover, this reduction in the coverage of the costs of therapy using an alarm-device <\/span>will lead, in the medium to long term, to a considerable increase in costs for health insurers<\/b>, as this measure will force families to resort to pharmaceutical products that are more expensive, less effective and not without side effects.<\/span><\/p>\n For these reasons, <\/span>we submitted a new application to the SFOPH on October 3, 2019<\/b>, in order to quickly achieve a significant increase in the reimbursement rate for the rental of the alarm device.
