Lower Austrians are rejected by hospitals in the federal capital – the patient lawyer explains: “This is unconstitutional!”
The dispute about the treatment of such call -off guest patients in Viennese hospitals is on their way. Lower Austria’s patient lawyer Michael Prunbauer increases the alarm. He speaks of 20 cases in which countrymen were rejected by clinics in the federal capital for operations they have to look for appointments in Nö-Spitälers. “Long new complaints every day,” Prunbauer explains.
On -appointments affected in orthopedics
If this procedure is not immediately terminated on the Viennese side, the new federal government must make a legal stop to this crowds, the patient’s representative requires. Above all, people who have long waited for planned orthopedic interventions are influenced.
Reimbursement regulated in financial equalization
As is known, the city councilor of Vienna Health Peter Hacker claims that too many patients from Lower Austria in hospitals in the federal capital would inquire about surgical agreements. That cannot be financed. The state policy of the Austria and the patient lawyer refer to the valid financial equalization: “Apparently Vienna is dissatisfied with his own negotiating result,” speculates Prunbauer. Now that there is also threatening to lead their own waiting lists for guest patients, there is an “unworthy procedure”.
