Statute overview

About this statute

This Order sets out how access to medical care is to be facilitated for persons with disabilities. The State covers health insurance and related medical costs for persons with disabilities, with different levels of support based on disability percentage. Free prosthetics and orthotics for persons with disabilities are capped by the Mutual Health Insurance Fund value, and the State fully covers care for disabilities between 70% and 100%. District hospitals must provide special services for persons with disabilities, and people with more than 50% disability may be seen first by a doctor, unless seriously ill patients have priority. This article repeals any earlier legal provisions that conflict with this Order.
