About us

Who we are!

The Reimbursement Institute is a registered trademark of RI Innovation GmbH, based in Hürth near Cologne. The company is independent and does not receive any funding or investment grants from external companies or institutions!

We are a specialised consulting and software development company focusing on reimbursement systems in healthcare. Our core business is the development and programming of the online platform reimbursement.INFO.

In addition to our software solution, we offer sound advice, strategic support and customised solutions to help our clients navigate the complex world of health economics and reimbursement. Our interdisciplinary team of experts combines technological innovation with practical advice to develop economically viable and sustainable strategies.

We emphasise close collaboration with our clients, a dynamic work environment and continuous development – for our company as well as our team.

Online database and analysis platform

reimbursement.INFO is a web-based high-performance platform that helps companies in the healthcare industry to find their way through the complex structures of reimbursement in the healthcare sector. By providing targeted access to relevant information, the platform enables efficient and well-informed decision-making on a wide range of issues.

Users have access to a comprehensive database that combines all available regulations and routine data. An intelligent search function makes it easy to quickly find relevant information, while dynamic analysis tools provide valuable insights into the German hospital landscape. Step-by-step instructions and a maximally intuitive user interface help to use the platform quickly and efficiently.

A particular focus is on the analysis tools for the Hospital Care Improvement Act (KHVVG). These enable hospitals to calculate the potential for outpatient care and the allocation of cases to the service groups in connection with the provision remuneration and rDRG.

To provide access for all system participants, registration and use of the basic version is free of charge for all users!

Information and project work

Our team of experts has been working with the G-DRG billing system for the inpatient sector for over 20 years. With the introduction of efforts to shift care to outpatient settings, we have gained extensive knowledge of billing modalities according to EBM, AOP, and Hybrid DRG. Based on our vast experience, we are able to provide our prospects and customers with comprehensive information on their individual needs and implement complex projects. Our target groups include outpatient and inpatient service providers, medical technology and pharmaceutical manufacturers, and professional associations. We are also happy to share our knowledge in the form of our books (“The aG-DRG System – Complex, logical… and fair?” and “The aG-DRG Compendium – Complex, understandable… and transparent!”), press articles, blog posts, and publications.

With its team of experts and the online platform, the Reimbursement Institute is thus an excellent strategic partner for all areas of the inpatient, German hospital sector as well as for the interfaces to the outpatient sector.
