From March 27, GESY introduces a new chronic patient category for individuals with multiple sclerosis, the Health Insurance Organisation (HIO) announced. Beneficiaries in this category will be able to consult specialist neurologists directly, without needing a referral.
Eligibility criteria
The new category includes beneficiaries diagnosed with multiple sclerosis or optic neuromyelitis, confirmed by a specialist neurologist.
The initiative aims to ensure closer monitoring and better management of patients, facilitating access to the necessary healthcare services.
Reduced patient contribution
Patients in this category will pay a co-payment of €6 per visit, instead of the usual €25, provided they have not reached the annual maximum co-payment limit and are not exempt from payment.
Additional information
Beneficiaries in the GESY multiple sclerosis category are encouraged to contact their treating neurologist for more details about accessing services.
