title: [Urinary incontinence and health insurance].
abstract: We interviewed 187 women and 150 men with urinary incontinence. The majority of the patients had consulted their doctor about the problem (women 55%, men 83%), but had received inadequate information about the compensation provided under the National Insurance Act. Our findings suggest that the system of compensation provided for by the Act is by no means fully exploited. We review the provisions in the National Insurance Act which refer to urinary incontinence.
