Abstract: German legislation demands controlling measures for outpatient drug costs. As of 2017 the health insurance actors rose to a challenge to reform the benchmark system on the federal state level. We look at the previous system applied until 2015, the improvements in 2016 and the method the regional parties agree on for 2017. After discussing hard- and software systems and the underlying data briefly we describe the flaws of the old approach and develop a general model for controlling measures in the outpatient field. Finally we present the first real world applications of the new model: a patient type classification system leading to target costs and a derived distance structure of physicians regarding their prescription behaviour.
