Ravikindlustuse seaduse ja tervishoiuteenuste korraldamise seaduse muutmise seadus (psühhiaatria saatekiri, e-konsultatsioon ja erialata arstid)

Stage first_chamberUpdated 28d ago

This Estonian bill amends two national laws: the Health Insurance Act and the Health Services Organisation Act. Based on its title, it covers three areas: how patients are referred for psychiatric care, how doctors can consult each other electronically, and the rules for doctors who do not hold a medical specialty. The full text was not reviewed, so the exact changes are not described here. Patients who need psychiatric treatment, family doctors who make referrals, and psychiatrists and other specialists may be affected. Healthcare providers and the national health insurance system could also be affected by the new rules on electronic consultation and the employment of doctors without a specialty.
