€30,000 Fine for Private Hospital in Cyprus's Health System

A private hospital participating in the General Health System (GHS) of Cyprus has been fined €30,000 by the Health Insurance Organization (HIO). The fine is due to repeated delays in submitting reimbursement requests, preventing their timely registration in the system and requiring manual intervention by the HIO to pay providers. This delay also affects patient records, as information is not updated promptly, creating gaps for other healthcare providers. The HIO emphasizes that this delay violates the regulations applicable to all providers and places an additional workload on the organization. The imposition of the fine sets a precedent and highlights the need for compliance with GHS procedures.
