The Bavarian Association of Specialist Physicians (BFAV) sees the demand of the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Funds to reduce the reference value by 2.2 billion euros as a clear commitment to rationing. KBV should implement the application on the topic of “Limited services for limited money”.

“We would like to thank the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Funds for its clear announcement that in the future only WANZs will be permitted for treatment in the German healthcare system,” says BFAV spokesman Dr. Wolfgang Bärtl, the announcement of Magnus v. Stackelberg, negotiator for the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Funds, who believes that a reduction in the reference point value is advisable. This would mean that the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Funds would now like to expect doctors to reduce their fees after two zero rounds. From the medical perspective, a significant increase in the reference point value is considered necessary in order to be able to provide medical services in a cost-covering manner.

With this “targeted provocation” that they are just one Weconomic Asufficient Nnecessary and ZIf the health insurance companies want to pay for appropriate (WANZ) treatment, they not only arouse incomprehension among doctors, but also anger and anger. The “savings demand” is in stark contradiction to our own bizarre health insurance offers, such as the promotion of belly dance groups, laying on of hands courses and other “contribution destruction expenses”, but the insurance companies constantly refuse to pay medical fees for medically sensible treatments.

Bärtl is calling on the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians to quickly implement the application submitted on the initiative of the BFAV and approved by a majority under the topic “Limited services for limited money”.

The BFAV boss finds support from the corporation here from the 2nd deputy chairwoman of the Bavarian Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KVB), Dr. Ilka Enger: “If medical services are too expensive for the health insurance companies, then they should tell us what services they provide ours Want to buy price. And then should she Tell your insured people why they don’t want to purchase more services.”
