Tecfidera®
240mg | Capsules
Between March 1, 2019, and December 1, 2021, a Personal Contribution for Tecfidera was required. This Personal Contribution had a maximum of €250,- per patient per year.
The manufacturer didn’t want treatment with Tecfidera to come with additional costs for patients. They therefore repaid the Personal Contribution to patients through a ‘TerugBetaalRegeling’ (repayment scheme), facilitated by TBR Nederland.
As of December 1, 2021, the Personal Contribution for Tecfidera will be ended. As of that day, health insurers will once again fully reimburse the medicine, although the deductible excess does apply (currently set at €385,- per year). However, a Personal Contribution is no longer required.
The TerugBetaalRegeling (repayment scheme) will therefore be ended. Declarations can be submitted until September 1, 2022, to ensure that everyone has sufficient time to submit a declaration for Personal Contributions made in 2021.
