No, I work exclusively as an elective doctor without a health insurance contract. However, you can submit the fee note you have received to your health insurance company in order to receive a partial refund.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Due to the excellent infrastructure and quality, any surgery will be performed at the Vienna Private Clinic (Pelikangasse 15, 1090 Vienna). This applies to privately insured patients, patients paying extra for special classes or self-pay patients.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We always endeavor to offer you the earliest possible date for your operation and, if necessary, appointments for an emergency operation. Once you have been admitted to the surgery, I will contact you as soon as an appointment has been made at the hospital. Self-paying patients or generally insured patients with additional payment will first receive a cost estimate before an appointment can be booked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
