Practice Dr. Katmer

Statutory health insurance patients - private patients and self-payers

Services provided by statutory health insurance and private health insurance

Costs – transparency for your trust

We would like to give you a clear overview of the costs involved if you decide to undergo treatment in our practice. Our billing is always based on the German Medical Fee Schedule (GOÄ).

Initial consultation

To find out whether we can help you with your concerns, we offer a 10-minute medical telephone consultation.

For privately insured people

Billing is based on the German Medical Fee Schedule (GOÄ). Our services are documented in such a way that their medical necessity is transparent for your private health insurance. If a treatment performed is not precisely documented in the GOÄ, billing will be based on so-called analog codes in accordance with Section 6, Paragraph 2 of the GOÄ. These correspond to the type, effort, and cost of the service provided.

Before your initial treatment, we will enter into a written treatment contract and fee agreement with you. This agreement also specifies the fee factor for billing.

Important NOTE: It may happen that your private health insurance does not fully cover all services. In this case, you would have to cover the remaining costs yourself.

For self-payers

You are also welcome to visit our practice as a self-payer. Please note, however, that we are a private practice, and statutory health insurance providers do not cover or subsidize treatment costs.
