Abstract

Der vorliegende Beitrag analysiert den Ordnungsrahmen für den deutschen Apothekenmarkt und die dortigen Konkurrenzbeziehungen, welche durch signifikante Wettbewerbsdefizite gekennzeichnet sind. Ausgehend von unserer Diagnose und den Befunden werden die Vor- und Nachteile von zwei Therapieoptionen als diskutiert: Das sogenannte Selektivertragsmodell, bei dem Apotheken um das Kollektiv der Versichertengemeinschaft einer jeden Krankenkasse konkurrieren, und das Modell der Apothekentaxe, bei dem die Patienten die Leistung der Apotheke direkt vergüten. Für das Modell der Apothekentaxe werden in drei Szenarien die Wettbewerbswirkungen und das mögliche Einsparpotenzial pro Jahr ermittelt, dass sich auf bis zu 448 Mio. EUR beläuft.
