Enrollment in the public health care system is generally automatic and is linked to employment[4], however insurance is also guaranteed to co-insured persons (i.e. spouses and dependents[5] ), pensioners, students, the disabled, and those receiving unemployment benefits[5]. Enrollment is compulsory, and it is not possible to cross-shop the various social security institutions[6]. Employers register their employees with the correct institution and deduct the health insurance tax from employees' salaries[7]. Some people, such as the self-employed, are not automatically enrolled but are eligible to enroll in the public health insurance scheme[8]. The cost of public insurance is based on income and is not related to individual medical history or risk factors[9].
All insured persons are issued an e-Card, which must be presented when visiting a doctor (however some doctors only treat privately insured patients). The e-Card allows for the digitization of health claims and replaces the earlier health insurance voucher[10]. Additionally the e-Card serves as a valid ID[11].
Hospitals and clinics can be either state-run or privately-run[12]. Austria has a relatively high density of hospitals and physicians; In 2011 there were 4.7 Physicians per 1000 people, which is slightly greater than the average for Europe[13]. In-patient care is emphasized within the Austrian healthcare system; Austria has the most acute care discharges per 100 inhabitants in Europe and the average hospital stay is 6.6 days compared with an EU average of 6[14].
By 2008 the economic crisis caused a deep recession, and out-of-pocket payments for healthcare increased to become 28% of health expenditures.[15] By 2010, Austria's public spending has decreased overall, but it was 15.5%, compared to 13.9% fifteen years earlier.[16]
