Nemaura Medical Announces Progress on Listing of sugarBEAT® For Reimbursement in Germany

Loughborough, England – May 6, 2021 (GlobeNewswire) – Nemaura Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: NMRD) (“Nemaura” or the “Company”), a medical technology company focused on developing and commercializing non-invasive wearable diagnostic devices and supporting personalized lifestyle coaching programs, today announced progress with the German regulatory authority (GBA) to achieve reimbursement for its sugarBEAT® device.

After initial review, the GBA has determined that sugarBEAT does not require GBA review and will go directly to the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Funds (GKV-Spitzenverband) for a listing on the durable medical catalog.  The Company is now completing the application for this listing, which is expected to be faster than where a GBA review is required.

“The availability of SugarBEAT® in Germany would be an important milestone for Nemaura and we are actively collaborating with the appropriate agencies to ensure timely availability there,” said Nemaura CEO Dr. Faz Chowdhury.  “In the meantime, we are actively negotiating to identify the right partner to market and distribute the product and our program in this very important market.  We will continue to provide updates as appropriate on our progress.”
