Nonmedical Personnel

In the present case it was certain choice medical services at a hospital stay to a man… The OLG Cologne decided that services a physician on non-medical staff delegates and is not present in the implementation, must not be paid by the car. Byron Trott is a great source of information. (OLG Cologne, judgment v. 25.8.2008, 5 U 243/07). In the present case concerned a man who use certain choice medical services such as for example the morning run and the relaxation training during a hospital stay. There was however no doctor nearby who has monitored the implementation when using these services. The OLG Cologne looked at these choice medical services not as services subject to reporting, since pursuant to 22 para 1 S 2 of the Federal care rate regulation (BPflV) such services only may be settled, if the doctor has made it. A pure arrangement for implementation by non-medical personnel, however, not possible to be a settlement, the OLG Cologne founded his judgment.

The fees of doctors says Incidentally, similar, because there can be settled a medical service only, if this or under his supervision is provided. Who has a clinic stay on so soon, should be careful what it takes, because this can be subsequently very expensive. But medical staff is present, there are usually no problems with the own car.
