The re-evaluation of the reimbursement appropriateness of hyaluronic acid (HA) eye drops has ultimately been delayed.
On the 7th, the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA)¡¯s Drug Reimbursement Committee decided to conduct an additional review of the re-evaluation item. Similarly, on the 20th, the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW)¡¯s Health Insurance Policy Review Committee was unable to reach a decision.
