General information – private doctor (Wahlarzt)
A Wahlarzt is a doctor without contracts with the health insurance funds. Because of this, the private doctor cannot bill services directly to the health insurance – you cannot use your e-card from the GKK, VAE or SVS in this practice. Primary consultations or second opinions are billed based on time; in these cases the co-payment may be higher because health insurance refunds only a small flat rate for consultations.
Billing and reimbursement
Patients have the right to choose a doctor of their choice (a private doctor) even if that doctor has no contract with their health insurer. Since the private doctor cannot bill medical services directly to the patient’s insurer, the doctor issues a fee note that the patient initially pays. The patient can then submit the fee note (including proof of payment) to their insurer and apply for partial reimbursement. Up to 80 % of the amount that a contracted doctor would receive for the same service is reimbursed (legal basis § 131 ASVG). This does not necessarily amount to 80 % of the fee paid, because private doctors are not bound by insurance tariffs and the service may be purely private.
Private services
If a treatment is a purely private service, you will not receive any reimbursement from your health insurance.

The author expressly reserves the right to change, supplement or delete parts of the pages or the entire offer without prior notice, or to discontinue publication temporarily or permanently.
References and links
For direct or indirect references to external websites (links) outside the author’s responsibility, liability would arise only if the author had knowledge of illegal content and it was technically possible and reasonable to prevent its use. The author declares that at the time of linking no illegal content was recognisable on the linked pages. The author has no influence on the current and future design, content or authorship of the linked pages and therefore expressly distances himself from all content on linked pages that was changed after the link was set. This statement applies to all links and references within the author’s own website and to entries by third parties in guest books, discussion forums and mailing lists set up by the author. The provider of the linked page alone is liable for illegal, incorrect or incomplete content and particularly for damage resulting from the use or non‑use of such information.
