In the area of KV Nordrhein, contrast agents are assigned to consultation hours. Contract physicians may issue regulations on contrast media and place the order with a supplier (eg pharmaceutical company or wholesaler) on their own responsibility and for the account of the client. The procurement procedure is used to conclude framework agreements for the supply of contrast medicine to the conventional practice. Several active substances are combined across indications and partially across active ingredients in 16 expert lots. A framework contract is concluded for each compartment lot. Due to the economic efficiency requirement, the physicians are obliged to meet the demand for contrast agents in the supplied supplier, if necessary, an inter-active exchange takes place within the Fachlos.
