Description
The health insurance «Caisse Nationale de
Santé-D'Gesondheetskeess» (CNS) of Luxembourg and the Luxembourgish
Association of Physiotherapists (ALK) conjointly elaborated a
proposal for reform of the physiotherapy fee schedule. On behalf of
the Cellule d’expertise médicale (CEM), the ZHAW institute of
physiotherapy evaluated the proposal by systematic literature
research and by expertise gained in health services research
projects. The evaluation focused on the comparison of the new
proposal with the current fee schedule in terms of state of the art
from physiotherapy research evidence, professional autonomy and
expected physiotherapy outcomes.
The project has been successfully concluded.
