KYIV. Dec 8 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Health Ministry hopes to create the national medical insurance system that would finance primary care by summer 2017, acting Health Minister Ulana Suprun has said.
“We hope that by summer national insurance policies will be created, and we will pay to family doctors for each patient through it,” she said in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine.
Suprun said that in 2017 Health Ministry seeks to set the tariff for medical services on the secondary market using the Diagnosis Related Groups (DRG) principle.
“Since 2018 the services through national insurance will be paid at the secondary level using the tariffs,” she said.
“We will switch to changes at the tertiary level in 2019 when all three levels will work via national insurance,” Suprun said.
