Sick leave can be reviewed by Social Security at any time. Beneficiaries can be called by SMS or email, and medical examinations can be carried out via video call, according to a decree-law due to be published this Friday in the Diário da República (to come into force in April). This is a real revolution in loss verification, the general rules of which go back to 1997. The new rules aim to make the disability certification system “more efficient and effective, thereby facilitating a more thorough and rapid distribution of benefits in the context of possible illnesses, disabilities, disabilities and dependencies,” the decree-law states. CM had access. Given the possibility of monitoring sick leave at any time, and also taking into account the fact that there are weekends and the first three days are not paid, in practice the beneficiary can be called about a week after the start from the city center. But now you can be summoned electronically, and you can also conduct medical examinations at the inspection, re-certification and appeal commissions via video link. It also becomes possible to conduct medical examinations at home “in situations where the beneficiary is bedridden, hospitalized, institutionalized or where it is obvious that he has difficulty reaching social security services.” To make the job easier for doctors whose teams have been reduced from three to two, social security information can now be cross-referenced with NHS data where possible.
