Health system<br />
<strong>Liechtenstein</strong> has a universal health care system<br />
with decentralized, free market elements through<br />
mandated health insurance coverage for every<br />
person residing in the country<br />
Broadly speaking, individuals shop around for<br />
their own private health insurance plan, known by<br />
the abbreviation 'OKP', with government registered<br />
and regulated companies. Various supplementary<br />
services with varying private contribution rates<br />
exist for those with special healthcare needs.<br />
The basic plans cover specialist treatments from<br />
neighboring nations such as Switzerland and<br />
Austria, though patients share some costs. Regular<br />
health check-ups with general practitioners are<br />
covered completely, with no out-of-pocket<br />
expenses .
