BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 3. Operations related to
the application of compulsory medical insurance will be carried out
electronically in Azerbaijan.
This issue is reflected in the draft law on amendments to the
law "On medical insurance", which is on the agenda of the meeting
of the Parliament Committee on Labor and Social Policy held today
in a videoconference format.
The draft law envisages making the following
amendments:
- adding the concept of compulsory medical insurance fund to the
law "On medical insurance"; - determining the legal basis for the implementation of
operations related to the application of compulsory medical
insurance electronically through the information system of the body
determined by the relevant executive authority - dispensing of medicines used in outpatient settings to insured
persons by pharmacy organizations based on an electronic
prescription transmitted to that information system; - Creating a compulsory medical insurance certificate in
electronic form in that information system.
The term "compulsory health insurance fund" shall mean a
state-owned, purpose-built state financial fund managed by a body
(institution) determined by the relevant executive authority and
having an independent budget outside the state budget.
As a result of the adoption of the project, the legal basis for
electronic services in the field of compulsory health insurance
will be improved, the provision of medicines used in outpatient
settings based on electronic prescriptions will be regulated by
legislation, and the creation of a compulsory health insurance
certificate in electronic form will be ensured, as well as the
legal regulation on the assessment of rehabilitation opportunities
for persons with disabilities will be adjusted to the
redistribution of powers in the field of providing rehabilitation
services.
