The care facilities select a company from a so-called provider directory, which carries out the underlying qualification measure for the care facility. The nursing care fund has no influence on this. The provider directory is made available to the care facilities by the care fund of the AOK in Hesse. The companies agree that their data will be included in the aforementioned directory and made available to the care facilities in Hesse after the contract has been concluded. The provider himself has no right to be considered when carrying out the qualification measure. As a result, the provider may have the underlying contract, but it may not be used once in the course of the contract; therefore in this case also has no right to remuneration.
