Berlin From June 30th at the latest, according to the Digital Act, all medical and psychotherapy practices are obliged to be able to receive electronic medical letters. The National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KBV) draws attention to this.
The e-doctor’s letters were initially a voluntary application, then the legislature made them compulsory with the Act to Accelerate Digitization in the Health Care Sector (Digital Act). This came into force in March.
The KBV points out that the guidelines for electronic doctor’s letters have since been adjusted. This now stipulates that electronic doctor’s letters must contain at least the same insured person data that is also collected in the replacement procedure.
This includes name, first name, date of birth, cost carrier identification, type of insured person, postcode of place of residence and health insurance number. The e-doctor’s letter modules of the practice software must automatically add the information to the e-doctor’s letter. The software providers are obliged to provide the appropriately adapted software at the end of each quarter, as the KBV emphasizes.
Practices must already have the e-doctor’s letter module. Otherwise, according to the legal regulations, the TI flat rate will be reduced by 50 percent. This does not apply to practices whose software provider has not yet provided the e-doctor’s letter module. © aha/aerzteblatt.de
