Parliament restructures the financing of the healthcare system. The monism template, which provides for financing all services from the same pot, is ready for the final vote.
On Monday, the Council of States quietly corrected the last discrepancy in the template. This means that the goal of cleaning up the template has been achieved in the current session, after 14 years of deliberation. The “Uniform Financing for Outpatient and Hospital Patients” (EFAS) is intended to help curb healthcare costs.
Recently, it has been controversial under what conditions long-term care should be integrated into the uniform cost allocator. The only criterion that the Council of States wanted to set was a period of seven years from the submission of the proposal.
The National Council insisted on another condition and ultimately prevailed: there must be rates for healthcare services that are based on a uniform, transparent cost and data basis. And the rates must cover the costs. (saw/sda)
