The presentation of the draft bill of the Digital Healthcare Act (the DVG), drafted by the BMG in May 2019, outlined for the first time, a path for digital health applications, “DiGA”, to achieve structured access to the statutory health insurance system and thus to be financed by health insurers as part of standard care. The global attention that the law received reflects the novelty and innovation of the DVG: no other integrated healthcare market in the world had yet articulated clear requirements, a structured qualification process, and, simultaneously, clear reimbursement rules for digital health applications. With the implementation of the DiGA Fast-Track process in statutory health insurance law, the final hurdle was removed for qualified DiGA to be made available to the more than 73 million statutorily insured German citizens.
