I’ve never heard the term “fee for service” so I looked it up and I don’t think that’s exactly what we do in Germany? Physicians are allocated a certain budget per patient (it’s not quite as simple but to keep it short) and if they exceed that, it can be somewhat of an issue.
Or maybe I’m just misunderstanding the term. Any experts in German health care around?
The other issue we may find with these numbers is that they were the latest numbers found by them, but many from 2021. Which I am unsure if doctors visits were altered from average do to COVID infections still being high
