Status: Parliament is still discussing this proposal, for example in a committee or while waiting for advice. (parliament: ‘Pending in the Chamber’)
In plain language
- Health insurance funds will no longer be allowed to reimburse the official co-payment for adults through their complementary services.
- This affects adult patients and health insurance funds, while a capped reimbursement remains permitted for minors under 18.
- You will have to pay the patient fee out of pocket, unless you qualify for existing social protections such as the increased reimbursement scheme.
