Gesetz für schnellere Termine und bessere Versorgung (Terminservice- und Versorgungsgesetz – TSVG)

This German legislative act aims to improve patient access to medical specialists and reduce waiting times for appointments. It introduces new incentives for doctors to provide timely care and establishes a more structured appointment service system to ensure patients receive necessary treatments faster. Patients will benefit from easier access to specialist appointments. Healthcare providers, particularly outpatient specialists, will see changes in how their services are reimbursed based on their availability and participation in the appointment service.
