Reimbursement scheme Tecfidera®

General information

The pharmacist has dispensed Tecfidera® 240mg to the patient. The health insurer will not reimburse the cost of this prescription in full. The producer of this medicine has therefore instructed TBR Nederland to reimburse to the patient the Personal Contribution charged.

Tecfidera® is reimbursed by your health care provider for the treatment of MS. That stays that way. However, a personal contribution of a maximum of € 250 per year per patient applies from 1 March 2019. This has to do with a recent change in the law. The manufacturer of Tecfidera® will reimburse patients for their own contribution. The producer does this via TBR Netherlands. As a result, there are no extra costs for patients using Tecfidera® as they are used to.
