This note explains how health care innovators receive payment from government insurers, in the U.S. and abroad, and from private insurers. It explains each of the three steps needed to obtain reimbursement: coverage, coding, and payment. It also discusses how technology assessment techniques are used to reach coverage and payment decisions.
