Slovak Chamber of Dentists warns that patients will probably pay more for dentists. The reason should be the adoption of the Act on minimum wage claims of nurses and midwives. On its base also dentists should increase the salaries of their nurses, but they, however, claim that they do not have money for that. Even health insurance companies did not help them and they are greatly dissatisfied with the increasing of prices for dental operations from their side. According to Chamber it does not cover the act on salaries of nurses as well as the indexation of the salaries of doctors. 

According to the Vice President of Slovak Chamber of Dentists Igor Moravčík the increasing of salaries of nurses will affect also the dental clinics. Therefore they are asking for increasing of prices and financial limits from all three health insurance companies. Chamber is asking for modifying of contract conditions by increasing the capitation payments on average from 20 to 30%. Chamber and insurance companies agreed on further negotiations, as they did not make an agreement on the first one.
