|---|---|
1 | Cross border health care is available for all patients with no authorisation needed. The state reimburses the costs of treatment, travel and accompanying persons directly and upfront. No investment on e-Health. |
2 | Cross border health care is available for all patients, but authorisation from the state is required. The state reimburses the cost of treatment and travel for patient only. No investment on e-Health. |
3 | Cross border healthcare is possible for patients only if treatment is not available in their country of residence. Only direct costs of the treatment are reimbursed. No prior authorisation is needed. The state invests some in e-Health initiatives. |
4 | Cross border health care is minimised. It has to be authorised by the state for special cases and only direct costs of the treatment are reimbursed, after it has taken place. If a treatment is not approved (for ethical reasons) in residence country it is not reimbursed for treatment abroad. The state makes e-Health major priority to minimise cross border health care. |
