Opinia prawna na temat zgodności z dyrektywą Parlamentu Europejskiego i Rady 2011/24/UE rządowego projektu ustawy o zmianie ustawy o świadczeniach opieki zdrowotnej finansowanych ze środków publicznych oraz niektórych innych ustaw

This opinion deals with a government bill on the funding of the cross‑border healthcare which implements the Directive 2011/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council. Both the content of the directive and the bill are presented in the opinion. The author points out a number of defects of the bill, including the inconsistent application of the exemptions provided for in the directive, unjustified differentiation of patient’s right to reimburse costs of healthcare depending on whether the it is carried out by healthcare providers established on the territory of the Republic of Poland or elsewhere, and imprecisely defined mechanism for determining the amount of the reimbursement, as well as application of many vague phrases and, above all, the introduction of the rigid instrument of the so‑called “suspension” of the patient’s right to reimbursement in the event of excess of the statutory limit of spending in a given year.
