Ten thousand per day intensive care: how much now cost treatment of Ukrainians

What features will be free, and for that you will have to pay.

Reporters learned that will be able to afford the average Ukrainian 370 USD, which the Verkhovna Rada has allocated him to the treatment, by adopting the law on medical reform. That is the amount the state budget spends on each of us. The rest of the money will have to pay yourself.

First, you need to find a family doctor and to sign a contract with him. the above amount in UAH 370 family doctor receives for each patient. The money we can get the following services:

the doctor monitors the health status of patients with various studies, diagnoses and treats the most common diseases (e.g., influenza, SARS), injuries, poisoning, pathological and physiological (during pregnancy);
support patients with chronic diseases;
provides emergency assistance;
directs the patient for the provision of secondary (hospital) or tertiary (highly specialized clinic) medical care;
conducts prevention: vaccination, screening and examination of patients from risk groups;
provides advice.
a family doctor can monitor pregnancy and uncomplicated to observe a healthy child
provides a separate palliative care services. For example, to assess the degree of pain, to prescribe and write prescriptions for narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances for treatment of pain syndrome, or a prescription under the program “Affordable medicine”.

What tests can be done at 370 UAH:

Patients have the right to hematological examination (General analysis of blood leukocyte formula), biochemical and immunochemical studies of blood serum (blood glucose, total cholesterol, urine analysis, urine analysis), instrumental examinations (electrocardiogram (ECG) at rest, sputum microscopy), rapid tests (rapid tests for HIV, hepatitis, syphilis).

How to be paid the surgery and treatment in hospitals (secondary care)?

Patients have to pay part of the treatment. How much – in the document never says. Within a month the Cabinet should develop tariffs for all services, and then depending on the amount of money in the budget to decide how much to pay Ukrainians, and how the state. It may be half, but may have to pay the lion’s share of treatment.

Approximate pricing for operations in hospitals:

Bypass grafting of the aorta will cost 130 thousand hryvnia, coronary thrombosis – 103 thousand, the removal of stone gallbladder 39 thousand. Treatment of injuries to the muscles of the forearm will fit into 63 thousand. Injury of the Shin pull on the 71 thousand hryvnias. One day of intensive care at the Institute of neurosurgery costs about 10 thousand UAH.

As reported “Vesti”, the payment of medical services for every Ukrainian will be produced in three packages. First — “green”, which will be free to call the ambulance, General practitioner or family doctor and to be treated in hospices. All of this, the government plans to allocate UAH 370 per year for each patient. Everything else will have to pay.

For example, partially from the budget and partly from the pocket of the patient is paid for the “blue” package, which includes labor, operations and treatment in hospital. The “red” package includes aesthetic medicine and aesthetic dentistry that the patient will have to pay from their own funds.
