Legislator summary

AI generated

The Administrative Court dismissed the municipality's claim for reimbursement of purchase care provided by a hospital outside its health care union. The central hospital arranged care for a patient using a private doctor's referral, but the patient's home municipality was neither a union member nor financially obligated to cover the costs. The court ruled that the municipality had no legal duty to fund the treatment because the ordering hospital fell outside its contractual obligations under the health care planning and state grant act.

Onko kunta velvollinen korvaamaan ostopalveluhoidon, jonka

määrääjänä on ollut sellainen sairaala, jonka kuntainliittoon

tuo kunta ei kuulunut.

Keskussairaala oli osoittanut yksityislääkärin lähetteellä

sairaalaan tulleen potilaan ostopalveluhoitoon. Potilaan kotikunta

ei ollut kuntainliiton jäsen, eikä ollut muutoinkaan

sitoutunut kustantamaan hoitoa. Kunnan kieltäydyttyä

maksamasta hoitokustannuksia kuntainliitto pani saamisen

ulosottoon.

Lääninoikeus kumosi maksuunpanon. Kunta ei ollut velvollinen

kustantamaan sanottua hoitoa.
