Amending the Law on compulsory health insurance (compulsory health insurance) was implemented for the Duma State in the last days of September along with the budget of the Federal MHI Fund in 2026 and the planning period of 2027 and 2028.
However, such a decision has an opposite.
On the patient side
In the current system, insurance companies help solve all compulsory health insurance issues with health organizations on patients and check the quality of treatment. Imagine: You can not go to an expert, perform ultrasound or MRI, you get a vague therapy. Where to go? That's right – with insurance company. Now exactly, insurance companies are handling such issues: they can affect the hospital or clinic, complete it to support the poor and even go to court with friends, Mr. Gazeta.ru tells all the patients. Compulsory health insurance, the Governor will be able to transfer the functions of the compulsory Health Insurance territorial funds.
The problem is that these funds are part of the health care system like the hospital. Turns out they will also give money to clinics and check their work.
Doctors will no longer be afraid of external examination – the motivation to observe the treatment protocols will decrease.
When the hospital and the control person have a owner, do not wait for objectivity, Yur Yuri Zhulev, the accomplice of all -russian patient alliance, explained to Gazeta.ru. In addition, according to him, physical funds do not have enough resources for all functions to protect the interests of the insured that the insurance companies today complete. The bill does not provide additional funding. Therefore, most likely, quality control “Simple SAG.”
What is threatening
Without the independent control of insurance companies, the hospital will start saving, they are afraid of the combination of patients. Not on paper, but on those who really seek help for medical help.
“They may refuse to check properly, reduce the time of receiving or procedures for postponement, hospitalization”, all the patient notes.
“The system will quickly turn into a closed company, where the patient is second after reports and plans,” Yuri Zhulev warned. Put simply: If an incident occurs, no one will complain. These modifications will make citizens alone with a medical bureaucracy.
What is best?
The Ministry of Health ensures that changes will bring the area flexibly and will not violate the patient's rights. But experts evaluate different modifications. In their opinion, to eliminate independent control means destroying the main principle of compulsory health insurance, according to the law, is a guarantee to get free and high quality medical care for all citizens of the Russian Federation. Currently, the bill is being considered.
“In fact, the question of everyone's right to treatment is being decided. And whether anyone will be interested in protecting it,” the combination of the patient.
