your CEO Jens Baas admitted in an interview with the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Sunday newspaper”: “It’s a competition between the sickness funds is created, who creates it, to bring Doctors to document for the patients as many of the diagnoses.” Then there is more money from the risk structure compensation.

“The funds to pay, for example, premiums of ten euros per case for Doctors, if you make the patient on the paper sicker.” There are even agreements with doctors associations, which have more and more serious diagnoses to target. The funds were also in this direction of business consultants for advice, explained Baas.

Particularly intensive would operate the regional funds, this can be considered cheating. “You can get 2016 expected to be a billion euros more than for the care of their Insured.” Baas mean, apparently, the coffers of the AOK, the newspaper writes.

For years, the Supervisory bodies are in a deep sleep. However, the Minister of health of the Federal government and the countries look the other way”, said Brysch.
