Hospitals that have not introduced digital services eligible for funding through the Hospital Future Fund by 2025 will face penalties.
The plan is for health insurance companies and hospitals to agree to a penalty of up to 2 percent on the invoice amount for each full and partial inpatient case for the period starting January 1, 2025, if a hospital fails to provide any of the relevant digital services. The exact amount of this penalty is to be determined by the number of services provided in principle and their actual utilization rate.
