Understanding Immediate Direct Payment (PID) with Doctipro: A Comprehensive Guide for Physicians

In the ever-evolving medical world, financial management of health practices is a crucial element. Immediate Direct Payment (PID) offers physicians an innovative solution to simplify and accelerate reimbursements from the National Health Fund (CNS). As the developer of Doctipro, a cutting-edge software platform, we are committed to providing physicians with a deep understanding of PID and its integration into their daily practice. Here is a comprehensive guide based on frequently asked questions (FAQ) regarding PID:

What is PID?

Immediate Direct Payment (PID) allows physicians to receive directly from the CNS the portion of the amount covered by health insurance, with an instant transfer to their bank account. Physicians thus receive the corresponding amount in just a few seconds, while any amount to be borne by the patient is settled directly by the patient.

Who is PID applicable to?

PID applies to all individuals covered by health and maternity insurance in Luxembourg (CNS, CMFEP, CMFEC, EMCFL). The reimbursement body is the CNS.

What are the other means of reimbursement?

PID is not intended to replace existing reimbursement methods but to complement them. Classic and expedited reimbursements still exist for situations where PID cannot be applied.

What are the limitations and exclusions of PID?

Currently, PID is limited to general practitioners and certain specific services. Laboratory procedures performed in the office, procedures not listed in the nomenclature or the CNS-AMMD convention, as well as certain specific procedures in the nomenclature, are excluded from PID.

How is PID initiated and what are the associated compensations?

The entire PID process must be successfully completed for the physician to be entitled to a quarterly compensation for digital costs. The compensation is automatically paid without a specific request from the physician and is calculated based on a current rate of 0.44 EUR (44 cents) per effective PID transaction.

How should personal conveniences (CP) be accounted for in PID?

Personal conveniences must be accounted for through the software, with a clear indication of the type of convenience billed to the patient. It is important to note that personal conveniences are not covered by health insurance and are entirely the responsibility of the insured.
