What is a private physician?
As a private-choice physician (Wahlarzt) specializing in urology, andrology, radiation oncology and radiotherapy, I have no contractual agreements with statutory health insurance providers or private health insurance companies. As a private physician, I am not subject to any restrictions or treatment quotas imposed by social security institutions. After each consultation, you will receive a separate, itemized invoice detailing all examinations and services provided. As a courtesy service, we submit your invoice to your health insurance provider on your behalf, where you may be reimbursed for up to 80% of the costs. We recommend contacting your health insurance provider to clarify your reimbursement entitlements under Austrian law. If you have private supplementary health insurance, you may also be able to claim reimbursement of the remaining balance, depending on the terms and conditions of your insurance policy.
Why consult a private physician?
Advantages at a glance:
- Flexible and quick appointment scheduling
- No waiting times
- Sufficient time for confidential discussions, diagnostics and therapy
- Personal care – no substitute doctors
- If necessary, rapid connection to the University Hospital Graz or LKH Hochsteiermark in Leoben with possible organization of an upcoming operation
- Prevention, therapy and aftercare from a single source
Do I need a referral?
No. A referral from your general practitioner or another specialist is not necessarily required. However, if you have one, please bring it with you as it may contain valuable information.
Can I get prescriptions from you?
If any medication is prescribed to you, it will be stored digitally in the central e-card system as an “e-prescription” (e-Rezept).
If you have any further questions, the friendly reception staff at the practice or I, personally, will be happy to assist you via email.
