The HSE has not received an application for FlexiSEQ to be added to the List of Reimbursable items under the GMS and other community drug schemes. On receipt of a formal application from the product's Marketing Authorisation Holder, a comprehensive assessment of the clinical effectiveness of the product and whether it represents value for money for the State, will be undertaken by the HSE in accordance with the provisions of the Health (Pricing and Supply of Medical Goods) Act 2013.
