NEW YORK (February 3, 2015) - Delcath Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: DCTH) announces that the Institut für das Entgeltsystem im Krankenhaus (InEk), the German federal reimbursement agency, has affirmed Value 4 coverage status for 2015 for the treatment of patients with liver metastases with the Delcath Hepatic CHEMOSAT^® Delivery System.

Under the Neue Untersuchungs und Behandlungsmethoden (NUB) reimbursement scheme, Value 4 Status does not mandate reimbursement but does permit cancer centers to negotiate for reimbursement coverage for designated procedures with insurers serving their region.  InEk first established NUB Value 4 status for CHEMOSAT procedures in 2013, and affirmed this assessment for 2014 and 2015.  The NUB is an annual process and participating centers in Germany are required to apply each year for subsequent coverage under the scheme. The InEk determines three status levels for medical procedures submitted for its review: Value 1 (mandated reimbursement), Value 2 (declined for reimbursement), and Value 4 (negotiated reimbursement). The InEk may also decline to make a determination regarding an application.

Commenting on the announcement, Jennifer K. Simpson, Ph.D., Interim President and CEO of Delcath Systems, said, "While we are pleased to have received Value 4 coverage status again in 2015, we continue to expect the primary mechanism for reimbursement to be Individual Funding Requests (IFRs), or case-by-case appeals for reimbursement made to a patient's insurance carrier. While each IFR is evaluated independently, the majority of applications for CHEMOSAT procedures were approved in 2014, and included coverage from a range of sickness funds across a number of regions in Germany. In 2015, we expect that patients in Germany will continue to have access to treatment with CHEMOSAT via the IFR reimbursement mechanism."
