Must- and should requirements in effect as of July 2026
NOMA has updated its submission guideline for single technology assessments. Our template for submission of documentation has been revised to align with these changes. The new guideline is in effect from July 6, 2026.
In the new version, we clarify our “must” and “should” requirements for submissions. If the “must” requirements are not met, the documentation will be deemed "not received," and we will not commence the assessment. If the “should” requirements are not met, we will start processing the case, but lacking information may result in a clock-stop.
New Norwegian EQ-5D-5L tariff will be mandatory from September 2025
As of September 1, 2025, it is mandatory to use the Norwegian EQ-5D-5L tariff (Garratt et al., 2024) for documenting health-related quality of life for adults when submitting documentation.
A transition to the new Norwegian EQ-5D-5L tariff also requires the use of updated norm data for age-adjusting utility weights and performing severity calculations. The tool for severity calculations and age adjustment of utility weights is updated with current norm data and available on NOMA’s website.
