Vedrørende høringsnotat med forslag til forskrift om behandlingsreiser til utlandet

Vi viser til Høringsnotat med forslag til forskrift om behandlingsreiser til utlandet og takker for muligheten til å komme med en uttalelse.

Seksjon for behandlingsreiser ved Avdeling for Medisin og helsefag på Oslo universitetssykehus ser positivt på arbeidet med forskriftsfesting av denne ordningen. Høringsnotatet avdekker god kjennskap til og innsikt i Behandlingsreiseordningen som et supplement til behandlingstilbud gitt i Norge. Vi er overordnet meget tilfreds med hovedlinjene i forskriften. Vår høringsuttalelse består av følgende to deler:

Merknader til kapittel 4:

Litt utdypende bakgrunnsinformasjon som vi anser adekvat til beskrivelsen av ”Dagens ordning”, samt presiseringer i forhold til egenbetaling, bevilgningssum og alder.

Merknader til kapittel 6:

Vi har i tillegg tillatt oss å komme med forslag til endringer i forskriften ledsaget av utdypende forklaringer basert på våre erfaringer med ordningen slik den fungerer i dag.

Herunder fremkommer en kort oppsummering av forhold som være adekvat i forhold til områdene personelt virkeområde, rettigheter og praktisk gjennomføring. Det er en forutsetning for deltakelse på behandlingsreise til utlandet at de som er i arbeid kan sykmeldes etter folketrygdlovens paragraf 8-4. Som deltaker på behandlingsreise er pasientene ikke formelt innlagt på Oslo universitetssykehus. Behandlingsreiser omfattes av Norsk pasientskadeerstatning og inngår i frikortordningen for egenandelstak 2. Behandlingsreise gir rett til opplæringspenger i inntil 2 uker for yrkesaktive foresatte som har ansvar for kronisk syke barn. Vi dekker i dag forsikring for pasienter og ledsagere til barn. Utreise for behandlingsreisers grupper er fra Oslo Lufthavn Gardermoen. Reise til og fra hjemmet til nærmeste flyplass dekkes av pasientreiser etter gjeldende regler, mens innenlands-billett dekkes av helseforetaket.
