YELLOW BOX definition
YELLOW BOX means the area of restricted reimbursement for innovative products within the Austrian Reimbursement Code. Precise rules on reimbursed indications, subsets of patients and/or special requirements for prescribing physicians (“Regelvorschlag”) apply for all products within the YELLOW BOX and are determined during the application phase. Reimbursement is subject to ex ante or post hoc control by the head medical service of the Austrian social insurance companies. The EX FACTORY PRICE in the YELLOW BOX in general lies beneath the actual EU average price.
