“Any doctor who wants to get a health insurance contract. All others are automatically private doctors,” says Huss in an interview for the online medium “medonline”. “If someone does not want to be a statutory health insurance doctor, he is a private doctor with all its advantages and disadvantages.”
The GK chairman is responding to the medical association’s call for more checkouts. Fr. Huss if this were “the cleanest model”, because then the medical board would get as many checkouts as they wanted – “no problem at all. And we would have a pure health insurance system” Huss now wants to negotiate with the medical association.
A compromise variant, which in the opinion of the GK chairman is more likely to come about, would be “that private doctors are made more responsible. Now it is often the case that the private doctor picks raisins. He has no minimum opening hours, does not need to pay attention to the economic Keep to the prescription and do not work on the on-call service, etc. If you include elective doctors more closely in the cash register system, then you can also discuss whether you should not increase the reimbursement to 100 percent “, said Huss.
