IKA offices suspended

(1/1)

--- Quote ---The National Organization for the Provision of Healthcare Services (EOPYY) informed insured members that as of Tuesday its health branch offices (former IKA) will shut down for a month.

EOPYY asked the public not to use the 5-digit phone number used to set up appointments with doctors, as their scheduling will not be possible, and said the shutdown was necessary for reorganization. Insured people will be able to be served in health centers of National Health (ESY) hospitals for the month, it said.

The shutdown is temporary, the Health ministry said, and there will be no layoffs.

EOPPY also stresses that during this period the insured will be served by the network of the 5,000 affiliated doctors to EOPYY (a list is available on the organization website www.eopyy.gov.gr) and reminds that these doctors will manage an increased number of visits (from 200 to 400 per month).

For a month, EOPYY will suspend a ceiling on the number of prescriptions written by doctors of health centers, regional clinics and hospitals.
