Centralized healthcare booking and new patient obligations

The law introduces a centralized electronic booking system for selected medical services, aiming to reduce waiting times and simplify appointment scheduling. Patients will be able to register online via the Patient Portal and will have access to estimated waiting times. New rules also require patients to update their contact details and inform doctors about changes in their health condition.
Key points
A central electronic registration system for selected services (e.g., oncology, cardiology) will be created – bookings via the Patient Portal, phone, or at the doctor's office.
Patients will receive information about the estimated waiting time for an appointment, calculated monthly based on real data.
People entitled to priority care can only be registered with one doctor for a given service.
Patients must inform their doctor if their health condition changes, which may lead to an earlier appointment.
Prescriptions and referrals will contain more data, including the medical procedure code and clinical diagnosis.
The National Health Fund may suspend payments to facilities that fail to implement the new registration system on time.
