In early 2011, many new laws in the health rules come into force. So shall the words of the Federal Health Minister, patient will receive more freedom of choice. Given the possibilities for "reimbursement" has been extended and an "additional costs" rule introduced in drugs.
The term "reimbursement" to indicate that the Health insurance costs also reimbursed. In fact it is so that between 60 and 75 percent of the cost of treatment the doctor will not be reimbursed from the cash register, but must be paid by the patient. Patients and not have the cash to the doctor to take the lead. And must be paid even if the fund paid nothing at all - as if it is not covered by state insurance, or has not provided the doctor's performance in the required quality. The same applies in the pharmacy. Again, the patient or the patient to the pharmacist in the obligation to pay, regardless of how much pays the cash register.
Thus, the supposed freedom of choice can quickly become a risky cost trap. About 600, - EUR, then the cost visit to the radiologist. After all, still about 250, - EUR are then cut in the internist. And as the casino's going to the pharmacy. Up to 90 percent the price of medicines remain patient sitting inside. What the insurance company actually paid for the selected drug knows, not even the pharmacist.
therefore warns against trade union Verdi's use of these new rules. For more detailed information on the many new regulations in the health-related ver.di members here: health policy ver.di
