Covid, up to 10 thousand euros in state reimbursement for each Covid patient hospitalized in intensive care
Up to 10 thousand euros in state reimbursement to the hospital for each Covid patient who will pass through intensive care. This is required by the decree published in the Official Gazette of 12 August 2021, in article 2 (download the full text of article 2 here).
If the intensive care beds will rise, it could therefore certainly be a consequence of Covid, but it could also be there an interest of hospitals to invoice à gogo. The decree refers to a “tariff increase for acute hospital care services for patients affected by Covid-19 “.
There is therefore talk of funds that hospitals will receive in relation to the remuneration of acute hospitalization of patients with Covid, and the identification of “criteria useful for defining the assistance functions related to the emergency”, in the period relating to the state of emergency on the national territory, “referred to in the resolution of the Council of Ministers of January 31, 2020 and subsequent extension measures”.
As the director of Affaritaliani.it Angelo Maria Perrino, guest in Telelombardia, “the maximum tariff increase, for each episode of hospitalization with a hospital stay longer than one day, it is equal to € 3,713 if the hospitalization took place exclusively in the medical area and € 9,697 if the hospitalization went through intensive care “.
“In the event of the patient being discharged for transfer between hospitalization and care facilities, the tariff increase is divided between the facilities in proportion to the length of stay in each”, reads the Gazzetta, while “in the case of transfer of the patient to wards different from the same hospitalization facility, the tariff increase is recognized only once with reference to the entire episode of hospital treatment. The tariff increase applies only to hospitalizations in which the patient has tested positive for the swab performed for Sars-Cov-2 virus, as verified by the Higher Institute of Health “.
