Abstract
The numbers of outpatient surgical procedures in Germany have been stagnating for decades. The Outpatient Surgery Contract (AOP-Vertrag §115 b SGB V, new version), anchored in the Medical Service of the German Statutory Health Insurance Reform Act (MDK-Reformgesetz) aims to increase the numbers of outpatient surgical procedures such that they approach those of other European countries. The umbrella organisation of the German health insurance funds, the German Hospital Society (DKG e.V.) and the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KBV) have ordered an expert opinion from the Institute of Health and Social Sciences (IGES). This assessment has been available since 1 April 2022.
