The Supreme Administrative Court decided to examine the Health Insurance Department, this morning, headed by Counselor Syed Sultan, Vice President of the State Council, in five judgments in the appeals numbers 84091, 85538, 85563, 85541 and 99678 for the year 61 BC, with unanimous views rejecting the appeals of the Health Insurance Authority and supporting the contested rulings In it issued by the Administrative Judiciary Court in Alexandria, the First Circuit in Beheira, headed by Counselor Dr. Mohamed Abdel-Wahab Khafagy, Vice President of the State Council, to compel health insurance to spend 600 pounds per month, transportation costs for two women, two men, and a student with kidney failure patients in various villages of Beheira from their homes to the hospitals in which they are treated .
The Administrative Judiciary Court in Alexandria headed by Counselor Dr. Mohamed Abdel Wahab Khafagy, Vice President of the State Council, had decided to suspend the implementation of the negative health insurance authority’s decision to refrain from paying the transportation costs for two women, two men, and a student of patients with kidney failure from various villages in Beheira Governorate, at a rate of 50 pounds for each dialysis session from Their homes, even the headquarters of the hospitals, in which they are treated three times a week, to become 600 pounds per month, and the consequences of that, most notably granting them those costs, and ordering the implementation of the provisions with their drafts and without announcement.
The Administrative Court said in its rulings headed by Egyptian Judge Dr. Muhammad Khafaji in support of the ruling of the Supreme Administrative Court, that the state gave absolute priority to patients with kidney failure and hepatitis and takes care of treating citizens at its own expense, and those who are not covered by any public or private health or treatment insurance, and treatment is done in The limits of the appropriations approved for this purpose annually in the general budget of the Ministry of Health, and that if the decisions of the Ministry of Health organizing treatment at the expense of the state are not explicitly specified, the amount and conditions of entitlement of the citizen in exchange for moving to treatment sessions for kidney failure in his hospital, but taking into account that the disease of kidney failure A chronic disease with which the patient needs regular weekly sessions, and some cases of fatigue inherent in the patient require a special means of transportation and facilities, which requires obligating the treatment body, which is included in its budget, the costs of treatment at the expense of the state, to pay these ancillary expenses, because the principle is that the treatment party bears the patient’s transfer to it to receive Treatment is at the expense of the state by providing an appropriate means of transportation, after it became clear to it that his marital status requires the state to bear the expense of his treatment and that he is unable to .
The court added that the costs decided for treating patients with kidney failure are not limited only to the costs of treatment, hospitalization and the price of medicines, but rather this concept extends to include transportation costs and those expenditures by virtue of necessity are included in the treatment expenses incurred by the party that decided the treatment, as they are expenses directly related to the treatment process. There is no need to dispense with it or to complete the correct aspect of treatment without it, and with this reward, if the patient is unable to move without an accompanying person, and incurs transportation costs in a private means of transportation, the treatment is emptied of its content, and it is inconsistent with the legislator’s purpose of bearing the treatment of the patient who is unable to the expense of the state.
The court concluded that the patient with kidney failure needs special means of transportation back and forth, to transport him to the hospital in which he is receiving treatment, and the transportation expenses by a special means for him are a branch of the expenses and requirements for treating kidney failure, and it takes his ruling on health insurance to bear the transportation costs for those who are unable, and it was not possible. The treatment body must arrange special transportation for these patients, it is inevitable that the monetary implementation takes its place, and that is a deduction from the financial appropriation included in the Ministry of Health budget for treatment at the expense of the state.
