Prior authorization
Under the Patient Mobility Directive 2011/24/EU the basic principle holds that cost reimbursements shall be rendered without prior authorisation and at that, in the amount of the costs which the insurance system had incurred were the relevant service provided in Austria. The prior authorisation concept is thus regarded as an exception to this general rule.
Likewise must be ensured that the prior authorisation concept for cost reimbursement will not result in discrimination or unjustified obstacles to patient mobility in regard to cross-border healthcare.
