Full coverage for the uninsured, so that they can be treated, if necessary, in private hospitals, is provided for by a law that is presented to Parliament today.
The Ministry of Health announced, in particular, that “with a provision of law presented today in Parliament, all our uninsured fellow citizens who are treated in individual beds in the Hospitals of the National Health Service, may be treated in private hospitals, of be necessary, without its own financial burden. The device will have retroactive effect. “Something that already applied to ICU beds, so, although a relevant provision was voted in 2018, it had not been implemented.”
According to the ministry, this regulation “has been implemented since last September, with retroactive effect, since the current government was the one that secured the funds to reimburse EOPYY’s private hospitals for the treatment of our uninsured fellow citizens in ICU beds.” .

How the problem with the uninsured arose
A few hours earlier, in a confidential document from EKAB to Thessaloniki hospitals, it was highlighted that only those insured by EOPYY would be treated in private clinics.
The document stated that “after the urgent need that arose, due to the increase in coronavirus cases, there will be no transfers of cases that are not insured to private hospitals. Only incidents that are insured with EOPYY will be dealt with ”.
It should be noted that in Thessaloniki both hospital admissions and intubation are increasing rapidly. This is the reason why the government is oriented to implement a stricter lockdown in the co-capital, to avoid the worst.
