0.8% contribution from supplementary health insurers to fund the GP patient-list fee

The 2019 Social Security Financing Act created a permanent contribution from mutual insurers, insurance companies and provident institutions to fund doctors' flat-rate remuneration (the GP patient-list fee). It is levied on supplementary health insurance premiums, like the additional solidarity tax, at a rate of 0.8%, and its proceeds go to the national health insurance fund. It replaces the per-insured flat participation (€8.10 in 2018) renewed every year since 2014. The law makes it due for 2019, 2020 and 2021, then renewed annually unless a new agreement is acknowledged by law.
