The subject of this publication is the conclusion of non-exclusive agreements on various contrast agents/drug combinations as part of a cross-active open-house procedure, which are prescribed and delivered at the expense of the health insurance companies in Brandenburg in the SSB. As a rule, several active substances of the same indication are grouped into 15 specialist groups. For more information, see Appendix 11 to the RFQ. Contrast agents of any future contracting partner can be ordered by the contracting doctors who are informed about these economic sources of supply during the contract period due to the profitability requirement; they are considered to be economically viable. Contract doctors are obliged to meet their demand for contrast agents from a specialist group with the products of the contractual partner or one of the contracting partners.
