If I admit more patients from neighboring communities, the workload of my entire team increases. We are also penalized by the health insurance company for this additional service. We get paid less for additional patients, sometimes only a third of the normal service.
Our billing system is the opposite of a standard overtime policy, the more we work, the less we get paid for it, it’s called “limits”. So why should a general practitioner still take in patients if he is already working at the limit? A completely paradoxical and outdated system that urgently needs to be abolished in times of a shortage of general practitioners, ideally by January 1st, 2023!
