Statement or annotation question

CASS links domestic public and independent providers to contracted French and Spanish capacity, with referrals and authorizations governing planned foreign care and substantial foreign-provider purchasing recorded in 2023.

Annotation prompts and machine flags

• Keep spending, provider relationships and patient flows separate; foreign expenditure does not supply patient counts.

The designed pathway links primary care, mainly office-based outpatient specialists, one national hospital and contracted foreign tertiary capacity under explicit referral and authorization rules.

Current facility counts show a concentrated domestic core, while administrative and empirical records add selected activity and emergency-flow observations without establishing comprehensive national utilization shares.

Andorra’s trajectory moves from longstanding mixed provision and coordination gaps toward formal integration, preferred-route incentives, cross-border purchasing and a wider 2024 reform pact, with implementation evidence remaining uneven by domain.

Statement or annotation question

Patients choose a contracted reference provider and receive more favorable reimbursement for referred care, while direct specialist use remains possible at higher cost and specified services remain exempt from referral.

A concentrated SAAS public-facility core coexists with independent contracted ambulatory provision, private long-term care and a purchaser that uses agreement status to shape public reimbursement.

Pre-reform evidence shows strong self-reported GP attachment alongside weak GP-nurse coordination, while one emergency study estimated substantial potential redirectability but did not observe actual transfers.

SAAS is described as an autonomous semi-public operator, while many ambulatory clinicians are self-employed; CASS contracting and route rules remain material constraints on publicly reimbursed activity.

The plan reported high self-reported use of a reference GP before the later preferred-route reform, but also documented fragmentation between independent GPs and SAAS nurses, limited cross-professional meetings and the absence of a shared information system.
