Abstract

The German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) suggests in its current methods paper adopting the viewpoint of the insurants of the Statutory Health Insurance (SHI) in Germany. Depending on the commission, the other social insurance providers will be considered within the analysis. Due to interdependences between the providers, this social insurance system perspective seems particularly relevant. The aim of this study is to give an overview of the health-related services of the German Statutory Health Insurance, Statutory Pension Insurance, Long-Term Care Insurance, German Social Accident Insurance and the Unemployment Insurance, to explain the reimbursement structures and to present pragmatic as well as practical recommendations for the valuation from the viewpoint of the social insurance system in Germany. The research is based on Social Security Codes and directives as well as interviews with social insurance providers and associations. It becomes apparent that the reimbursement of health care services varies between and within the different sectors which makes a standardization of costs difficult. However, this paper can be used as a basis for the development of a German standard cost list. Further research is necessary to combine the perspective of the social insurance system with the viewpoint of the patients.
