The law amends rules on health insurance and sterilization procedures. Key changes include requiring that decisions by the Icelandic Health Insurance (Sjúkratryggingar) be based on evidence-based knowledge, shortening the residence requirement for health insurance from six months to three months, and authorizing the agency to revoke benefits if an individual does not actually reside in Iceland. The law also allows charging fees for patients who miss scheduled appointments without notice and brings sterilization procedures under regular healthcare fee structures. The law affects all health-insured individuals in Iceland and healthcare fee collection.
