There is no market. If you are a private patient, prices are fixed, physicians must use the list price, they are prohibited from setting their own: https://de.w

  1) I'm not sure if you were the person who made the original deleted post or not. 2) I realize that in many areas there's a price list that they're legally obliged to follow and there's technically not a market. 3) What I want to explore is are the prices set at about what would be the "market rate" or not, and what are the consequences of this. For example, if prices for "treating medical condition X" are set below what the market rate for a service would be in a real marketplace for example, what are the consequences of this?

    Not sure I understand the question. From what I hear, prices do not vary much throughout Europe. If someone wants to save money they can pay a nurse under the table, apparently common with Eastern European illegal construction crews.

      > Not sure I understand the question. Let's say that treatment for medical condition X is currently set at $500 on this price list. If there was a market for medical services, how would that price list price compare? Is that price too low, too high, or just right? And what are the consequences of a price being set too high or too low?
