Starting with August 13, the National Medical Diagnoses Center works according to the usual program, with preliminary scheduling of appointments for examinations and lab analyses. Services for money are provided only without an appointment. Such an announcement was placed on the institution’s website.
Contacted by IPN, the Center’s vice director Eugen Turcanu said the services provided based on the health policy, which are covered by the contract signed with the National Health Insurance Company (CNAM), are scheduled by appointments, as earlier. The patients sent by the doctor for examinations can do these based on the health policy. The Center was offered assistance so that it could work further. The examinations based on health policy weren’t interrupted, while the support offered additionally by the CNAM will allow increasing the number of examinations.
CNAM PR manager Veronica Castravet has told IPN that the Company will soon present a report on how the money transferred to the Diagnoses Center was used. The CNAM signed a service provision contract to the value of 45 million lei with the Center for this year. An additional agreement was signed in June to provide 6 million lei in financing and this money is paid each month.
The press reported earlier that the National Medical Diagnoses Center on August 1 announced that it can no longer make appointments with patients with health policy for free examinations and these will have to pay for these services because the funds transferred by the CNAM to the Center were used up.
