Hospital financing
In spite of the basic structure that has existed since 1972 and namely the division into equipment financing (health insurance funds) and investment financing (federal states), hospital financing has been characterised by a differentiated but not always consistent system of legal regulations since the introduction of the DRGs at the very latest. Legal requirements for hospitals are displaced by regulations of the Federal Joint Committee (GBA) and agreements of the self-governing partners at both state and federal levels.

The authorities responsible for hospital planning at federal state level regularly check which operator may offer hospital services to persons with statutory health insurance at which location. Given that hospital planning is demand-oriented, in most cases it not only concerns the spectrum of authorised services, that is the structure of the specialist department, but also the number of beds in the hospital and its units.
