Review of Pricing for Emergency Department Services at OKYPY

February 27, 2025

Every year, state hospitals lose about €10 million due to the lack of a price list for the services at emergency departments. Foreigners and tourists who are not entitled to the General Health System receive free services, resulting in financial losses for OKYPY. The parliamentary health committee is reviewing a bill aimed at updating the prices that have been in effect since 2013. This situation leads to proposals for changes in the charging policy and service provision at emergency departments.
