Abstract
In this paper, the radiotherapy reimbursement systems actually used in the EU countries are compared. From this overview, it is concluded that up to date health care policy makers have not yet tapped all opportunities to encourage efficient, accessible radiotherapy delivery of high quality, through the reimbursement system. Therefore, some recommendations are given on how the reimbursement system can be designed in order to promote efficiency, accessibility and/or quality.
