Health ministry revising prices of diagnostic tests downward to cut costs
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
The health ministry on Wednesday announced downward revisions in the pricing of a series of diagnostic tests and other medical procedures, in order to cut costs by reducing compensation paid to patients covered by state health insurance funds.
In addition to procedures recosted downward, the announcement noted the pricing of 86 medical procedures and tests that were previously paid for by the patients in full and for which EOPYY will now give compensation.
The more significant of these are digital mammagrams, Nuchal Translucency (NT) ultrasound scans for Down's Syndrome, Prenatal genetic testing for cystic fibrosis, HPV, vaginal ultrasound, coronary CT angiogram and PCR for A/H1N1 flu.
