Implementation of paid medical services in the KNP: legal support and consulting
A new resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, which determines the procedure for providing paid medical services by state and municipal healthcare institutions, will come into force on January 1, 2025. For many medical institutions, this opens up new development opportunities, but at the same time creates the need for thorough preparation for the implementation of such services.
What medical services can be provided for a fee?
The new legislation clearly distinguishes between paid and free medicine. This helps to avoid abuses and makes the system more transparent for all participants in the process. The legislation defines the following cases when medical institutions can provide services for a fee:
- Patient referral without a doctor's referral (except in cases where a referral is not required)
- Services under contracts with legal entities
- Medical services in security and defense sector institutions for non-core patients
- Services not covered by the medical guarantee program
Additional paid services within the framework of free treatment
An important innovation is the possibility of receiving additional services on a paid basis even within the framework of free treatment. This allows patients to choose more comfortable conditions of stay or service, while basic medical care remains free of charge. Let's consider what additional services patients can pay for:
- Medical services at home (if this is the patient's wish, not a medical necessity)
- Choice of a specific doctor for planned treatment
- Stay in a ward with increased comfort
Special requirements for the provision of paid services
The medical institution is obliged to:
- Publish a full list of paid and free services
- Provide cashless payment methods
- Enter information about paid services into the electronic health care system
- Provide services only if the necessary material and technical base and qualified personnel are available

What to do if I am not in Kyiv?
Medical law covers a very wide range of services, and most of them can be provided remotely – with modern technologies, this is not only possible but also more convenient and efficient. Even court sessions are not an obstacle – we participate in them online.

How can I get a disability group?
In order to understand whether you can receive a disability group, a lawyer studies your medical documents in detail, consults with specialist doctors, and then concludes whether you have grounds for registering a disability and which group.
If there are grounds, the lawyer gives comprehensive advice on what and how to do to maximize the chances of receiving a positive opinion of the medical board.
If necessary, the lawyer provides full support.
