The NUB process is a proposal process organized by InEK. It examines whether German hospitals can negotiate an additional payment on top of the DRG tariff for new examination and treatment methods with the payers. The proposal process is executed annually for the following year, from the beginning of September to the end of October. In the context of this process, InEK proves whether the requested method is “new” and whether it is “not sufficiently reimbursed” via the aG-DRG-system.
For the year 2025, the InEK (German institute for reimbursement in hospitals) initiated the NUB-proposal process on September 2nd, 2024. Hospitals now have until October 31st, 2024, to submit NUB applications through the InEK's data portal.
