The billing of ventilation hours regularly leads to disputes between hospitals and health insurance companies. This is not least due to the fact that it depends on the exact documentation of the ventilation hours: The DRGs to be billed are based on whether certain threshold values are exceeded (e.g. DRG A13H is only coded if the patient was ventilated for more than 95 hours). The health insurance companies and the Medical Service check in detail whether the billed ventilation hours can also be read from the patient file.

20. Nov 2020 Problems with adjusting salaries to the standard pay scale in outpatient intensive care What should I bear in mind when negotiating remuneration?

As is well known, providers of outpatient intensive care conclude contracts with the health insurance funds (currently still individually, in future jointly and uniformly with the health insurance funds) on the provision of services, in which the remuneration is then also regulated. In accordance with. § Section 132l (5) sentence 2 SGB V new version (Section 132a (4) sentence 7 SGB V old version), the payment of salaries up to the level of collectively agreed remuneration and corresponding remuneration in accordance with church labor law regulations cannot be rejected by the health insurance funds as uneconomical. As a result, this means that service providers are entitled to pay their employees salaries up to the level of collectively agreed remuneration and that this must be refinanced by the health insurance fund.
