Dear Rusudan,

We reviewed the requested information.

1. As you know, Under the UHC outpatient component service providers are paid on a per capita basis. Therefore, the Ministry does not have the following information:

1) Monthly total payment for primary care package (May 2020)

2) Monthly total payment for specialized services (May 2020)

Rural doctors are given a salary (the same amount of money each month).

Also, information about medical staff is collected at the Centers for Disease Control and only 2019 information will be available only at the end of June.

Therefore, the Ministry does not have its own list of service prices (except for medicines). Every provider enjoys its own prices.

The deadlines for providing information may not be sufficient due to the  activities of the Social Services Agency.

It may be helpful to conduct the online call to clarify issues.

Thank you in advance,

With best regards, Keti
