The medical devices list included in the Health Application Notification (SUT) are the basis for reimbursing medical devices. In the medical devices list, all the medical devices to be reimbursed are presented. On the other hand, since health service providers define their own medical devices, there is no application standard.  

In order to present a “lingua franca”, to create a common application standard among the social security institution, companies and health service providers, a project was initiated to maintain a correct and proper invoicing of medical devices that are used by medical service providers in the treatment of insured persons.

Companies enter the information in the system, the infrastructure of which is implemented by the General Directorate of Service Provision, including the SUT code to which their products are related. Within this scope, 996,565 products are matched with approximately 4,000 SUT codes. This match-up information is defined in the MEDULA database.

As a result of the project, medical devices will be classified according to a level and standard for medical device usage according to the appropriate medical devices SUT code.
