  • Title: [The significance of quality of life from a socio-legal perspective].
    Author: Axer P.
    Journal: Z Evid Fortbild Qual Gesundhwes; 2014; 108(2-3):130-9. PubMed ID: 24780711.
    Abstract:
    Only rarely is the term quality of life explicitly mentioned in the Social Security Code (Sozialgesetzbuch, SGB). In the statutory health insurance law (Book V of the Social Security Code, SGB V), the term is explicitly regulated within the context of the entitlement to pharmaceuticals. While there are pharmaceuticals that have the priority to increase the quality of life but are excluded from the provision of healthcare (Section 34 (1) Sentence 7 SGB V), the improvement of the quality of life has to be taken into account for the cost-benefit assessment (Section 35b SGB V) as well as for the early pharmaceutical benefit assessment (Section 35a SGB V) and for the formation of reference price groups (Section 35 SGB V) for and in the case of an entitlement to benefits in the event of illness.
