Abstract

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic raised an immediate need for remote access to health care. Danish policymakers therefore introduced fees for remote contacts in general practice. The GPs could charge a fee for video consultations and for a regular consultation performed over the telephone, which was a higher fee than for a standard telephone consultation.
