Long waiting times are especially popular with resident specialists with a cash contract. Threats must improve things in Lager Austria.
Nobody can prescribe it to them, but the Medical Association Lower Austria also recommends Austria and Styria: Serious founders will increase failure costs of patients who are unfaithful in the future. The Vienna Medical Association now even has a thinning and collection point. Firstly, there are no plans in Lower Austria.
“Short Sources”
“The doctor’s agreements are scarce resources. Patients who do not comply with their agreements block them for others who may already need them urgently,” emphasizes the Krems Entor Eva Maria Hochstöger, member of the board of directors. In Lower Austria, the Curia gives no recommendation with regard to the amount of the amount, because this is to the discretion of the doctors. However, it must be “suitable” and if an appointment can be completed in the short term, this must also be taken into account.
Hochstöger has also collected failure costs for some time – 60 euros are suitable for them. Especially with specialists with a cash contract, agreements are often assigned weeks and months in advance. Without timely cancellation you pay a fee in top restaurants, hotels, lawyers, tax advisers or notaries to dampen financial failures.
Hochstöger has had good experiences so far. “An honest and transparent approach is important,” she says. Patients must know prior to the approaching failure costs – either by notification, indication of the website or already in the appointment.
Operation agreements particularly problematic
“The lack of reliability in surgical dates is particularly problematic,” adds dermatologist Krista Ainedter-samide of Tulln. There are long waiting times, especially for patients with skin cancer.
In exchange, patients who have to wait a lot despite the appointment will also make a reimbursement with money? “A health insurance physician is like an outpatient clinic. Acute patients come to us who should be preferred because of the urgency. Moreover, we do not have an assembly line, but individual medicines.” You can’t plan that exactly. “
