StenoCare flags uncertainty in Germany’s DKK 8.5 billion medical cannabis market under new reimbursement rules
  • StenoCare flagged renewed uncertainty in Germany’s medical cannabis reimbursement regime under rules effective July 30.
  • Germany’s medical cannabis market is projected at DKK 8.5 billion in 2026, with about 25% tied to statutory reimbursement.
  • Dried cannabis flower is no longer eligible for GKV reimbursement, shifting reimbursed demand toward extracts, oils, dronabinol, authorized medicines.
  • Dispute centers on a six-month requirement to try a marketing-authorized cannabis medicine before reimbursed extracts or oils for new patients.
  • Pharmacies face repayment risk if insurers later reject claims, potentially curbing dispensing until the Health Ministry clarifies interpretation.
