Upharmacia March 2017
Deputy Minister of Healthcare
Pavlo Kovtoniuk explained the
features of the package of
guaranteed medical services,
which the MOH plans to
approve. According to Mr.
Kovtoniuk, the package could
be approved in Sep 2018, only
if the Parliament approves
the Law on state financial
guarantees for the provision of
medical services and medicines
in 2017. Otherwise, the reform
would be postponed to one
year or even disrupted. If the
package is approved in 2018, its
introduction is planned for 2019.
The package is to consist of
three levels of lists:
•
“Green list” is services, which
are 100% covered by the
government.
10
“Red list” includes services,
for which the funding from
the state budget is not
provided.
• “Blue list” is a list of
non-urgent planned services,
the coverage of which is
shared between the state and
the citizen in accordance with
the tariffs and co-payment
from the patient, which will
be determined annually.
The amount of co-payment
could be reduced in case of
availability of voluntary medical
insurance. For citizens, which
are not able to use the services
of private insurance companies,
the government will provide
state and local of additional
targeted social assistance.
