German term (edited):
Heil- und Hilfsmittelversorgungsgesetz (HHVG)
Legislation for Remedies and Aids
"Remedies and aids" is sort of an official translation, given, for example, by the Kassenärztliche Bundesvereinigung (http://www.kbv.de/html/7857.php).
The act per se does not seem to have an 'official' English name (based on the lack of pertinent findings when searching for "remedies and aids" plus "act", "law", or similar. "Legislation for Remedies and Aids" was used in some press reports (e.g., http://www.rehacare.com/cgi-bin/md_rehacare/lib/pub/tt.cgi/F...

A little more detail… On February 16th the German Bundestag approved the changes to the law on devices for healing and aids to living (Heil-und Hilfsmittelversorgungsgesetz). The amended law is intended to improve the quality of care of patients in the community who are treated with or need to use medical devices and so includes the provision of wound care and wound care products. The amendments were needed because, amongst other things, due to a lack of a clear legal definition of the concept “dressing”, there were different prices and products recognised for reimbursement by different Health Insurance Funds.
