Special Report of the Monopolies Commission, May 30, 2022

  • The German dual hospital finance system should be restructured. The Monopolies Commission suggests a further development of the hospital flat-rate payment as well as the introduction of a provision surcharge that can be controlled by the federal states.
  • Patients should be given better opportunities to compare the quality of medical care provided by hospitals.
