EU Market Access, Clinical Evidence & HTA Support

We support medical device and IVD manufacturers from outside Bulgaria and outside the European Union in building a credible, cost-efficient, and market-oriented route into the EU. We combine regulatory understanding, clinical evidence strategy, and health technology assessment support so that manufacturers can move beyond formal compliance and toward real market access.

The EU market has become more demanding under the MDR and IVDR. Certification timelines are longer, Notified Body capacity remains constrained, and clinical evidence has become one of the main reasons for delay or refusal. For manufacturers outside the EU, the challenge is twofold: achieving regulatory compliance and establishing a credible European evidence and market-access position.

  • EU market-access positioning — strategic analysis of regulatory, clinical, and operational activities for efficient entry
  • Clinical evidence gap assessment — review of clinical evaluation, PMS, PMCF documentation for CE marking and HTA readiness
  • HTA and reimbursement support — evidence-based dossiers translating regulatory documentation into value propositions
  • Bulgaria-based evidence generation — leveraging Bulgarian clinical infrastructure, hospitals, and investigators
  • Manufacturing and procurement positioning — strategic use of manufacturing presence in Bulgaria for EU tender positioning

Why Bulgaria Is Strategically Relevant

  • Clinical investigations and performance studies in an EU setting
  • EU-relevant evidence from a European patient population
  • Lower execution costs for key regulatory and documentation functions
  • A credible bridge between CE-marking readiness and reimbursement or procurement positioning
  • Better long-term alignment between regulatory success and actual market uptake

Who This Service Is For

Our approach converts MDR-based evidence into a structured and defensible market-access narrative. Instead of treating HTA as a separate late-stage exercise, we integrate it into the broader EU market-entry strategy.

  • Manufacturers outside the EU seeking structured entry into the European market
  • Companies preparing for CE marking that also need stronger evidence for hospital, payer, or procurement acceptance
  • Manufacturers that want to reduce the cost and friction of MDR/IVDR implementation through a Bulgaria-based strategy
  • Organisations that need HTA-oriented support built directly on their clinical and regulatory evidence

Why Clients Choose CEHP

  • We connect regulation, clinical evidence, and market access — not as separate silos, but as one coherent path
  • From evidence generation to payer-facing positioning and practical EU market entry
  • Reduced avoidable duplication across regulatory and HTA processes
  • Evidence packages that serve not only compliance, but also adoption
