EOPYY-contracted health professionals
EOPYY also contracts private practices, laboratories and diagnostic centres and other health professionals to provide health care services to those insured. A system of monthly caps operates on physician activity. Every doctor contracted with EOPYY has a limit of 200 visits per month and there is also a monthly ceiling on the value of pharmaceutical. The latter varies according to specialization, number of patients prescribed for, the prefecture etc. This means that the beneficiaries of statutory health insurance who are in need of a doctor’s visit or a prescription and choose to consult an EOPYY-contracted doctor must either find a physician who has not reached his or her ceiling or they will have to pay privately.
For EOPYY-contracted health professionals, EU citizens may use:
- the EOPYY-search tool (available in Greek).
- the EOPYY-eFindDoctor tool (available in Greek) to find an EOPYY-contracted physician and check availability.
