Beneficiary Removals by Personal Doctors and Issues for Patients
July 27, 2026
Referrals in the General Health System are causing disputes between personal doctors and patients. Doctors are starting to remove beneficiaries from their lists, often without informing them. This situation creates problems for patients, who sometimes find out suddenly that they have no access to referrals or a personal doctor. Moreover, personal doctors are cautious due to limits on the number of referrals they can issue. A notable case involved a patient who could not receive the referral they needed because of these restrictions.
