Certificates

In addition to standard documents such as prescriptions or certificates of incapacity to work (AU), our healthcare system has countless forms and questionnaires ready for you to have filled out by your treating doctor . Often, however, patients  require very specific certificates.

 

In principle, any documents are only to be charged to the statutory health insurance company if they are created on agreed forms or at the special request of the health insurance companies or the medical service.

​

It should be said that only Documents that are created on the basis of agreed templates or at the special request of the health insurance company or the Medical Service (MDK), for example, will be charged to the requesting authorities. Other documents and the associated medical measures are calculated according to the federal fee schedule for doctors (GOÄ) and must be paid for by the patient or the requesting body.

​

A free provision of these services is not permitted for professional reasons.
