Summary

It is well known that many interventions were not reimbursed at a fair price in Hungarian health care at all levels. Although the HBCS-based funding settles the same cost per category, hospital spending is different for each patient. Most urological interventions are underfinanced nevertheless, the operations must be carried out, and interventions cannot be omitted by the nature of the illness.
In addition to steep financing, expectations are high. High quality and fast patient health care according to European norms, maintenance by the right professional work, patient complaints, litigation, profitable operation, and compliance with the rules are the expectation.
In a new approach, the author tries to demonstrate the minimum and ideal financial conditions of an average county department.
The author determines the minimum required and optimal funding standard of HBCS categories with that the healthcare provider can operate in compliance with professional, safety, law and ethical rules.
