“And how not to ask, here is my destiny, my health,” a Panevėžys resident told LNK News.
However, a patient from Panevėžys with a mental illness was interviewed by telephone, one of a possible 10,000 who were automatically transferred from one medical institution to another.
“In a word, I am a really serious patient. And treating the weakest people in this way is simply inhumane. It was a shock because I was being treated and had a mental health disability, and I suddenly discovered that after many years of treatment with a doctor, I was automatically transferred to the newly opened Mental Health Center without my written consent, ”she said. .
The new center was inaugurated in the polyclinic of the city, that is to say, a competitor of the private one.
“This is a moderate and informative transcription mechanism of the patient, which was actually conditioned by such a nihilistic approach from the private Mental Health Center, that it did not want to let competitors in,” explained Vitalijus Kovaliovas, deputy director of the Polyclinic. Panevėžys.
The administration explains that it restored the Department of Mental Health, which had been in operation for many years, and therefore only recovers patients previously released to private individuals. It does it legally, according to the law.
“The fight for patients with the declining population in Panevėžys is constant,” said V. Kovaliovas.
In the event of a pandemic, patients will be called during a transcript elsewhere, after which they will arrive, signed or not within a month. But that does not satisfy the Health Insurance Funds.
“The legislation regulates very specifically how it should be formalized. And when choosing mental health care, the patient’s wishes must be clearly expressed, not orally or over the phone. It must be expressed in writing, ”said Jonas Narbutas, director of the Panevėžys Territorial Health Insurance Fund.
Health insurance funds do not deny that part of the patients’ written consent is. However, the amount of verbal consent that you will not prove represents one third of all outpatients.
“We found about 10,000,” J. Narbutas told LNK.
A private treatment facility that has lost patients has cut jobs, but is preparing to increase again.
“They have expressed the desire to want to return to us, we are writing to those patients on the lists. We will see how many such patients will be needed, how many teams will be needed to train, ”said Darius Jonutis, director of the Vilnius Center for Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis.
The city polyclinic that signed the patients must submit copies of the patients’ consent to the health insurance funds within a few days.
And at the end of the quarantine, the originals of the 10 thousand consents, otherwise, there is a threat that the damage will have to be returned to the mandatory health insurance fund.
