HTA & Reimbursement / Market Access in Latin America

Key takeaways. Getting a medical device registered in Latin America is only the first step. To generate meaningful revenue, sponsors need health-technology-assessment (HTA) and payer/reimbursement support alongside device registration across the region. bioaccess® pairs regulatory registration with HTA and reimbursement strategy across our 19 LATAM markets, working with each country's HTA body and regulator — INVIMA (Colombia), ANVISA (Brazil), COFEPRIS (Mexico), ANMAT (Argentina), ISP (Chile), DIGEMID (Peru), and others already named on the site.

What is HTA and why does it matter in Latin America?

Health Technology Assessment is how public payers decide whether a device is covered by government health systems that cover the majority of the population in most LATAM markets. Without HTA acceptance, a registered device can sit on the shelf. HTA bodies referenced across bioaccess® content include CONITEC (Brazil), IETS (Colombia), CENETEC (Mexico), and ANEFiTS (Argentina).

How does bioaccess® support HTA and reimbursement?

We combine registration and reimbursement in one engagement: HTA readiness assessment, evidence gap analysis against each body's requirements, value dossier development, budget impact modeling, and payer engagement strategy — aligned from day one with the clinical development plan.

Which markets and agencies are covered?

Our 19 LATAM registration markets — including Colombia (INVIMA), Brazil (ANVISA), Mexico (COFEPRIS), Argentina (ANMAT), Chile (ISP), Peru (DIGEMID), Panama (MINSA), Ecuador (ARCSA), El Salvador (DNM/SRS), and Dominican Republic (DIGEMAPS) — are backed by the same in-country entities that handle registration, importation, and post-market obligations. See Market Access and LATAM Importer of Record.

When should sponsors plan HTA strategy?

Ideally during clinical development, well before regulatory approval, so clinical endpoints satisfy both regulators and HTA bodies without costly post-approval studies.
