Calculating the cost of your treatment/your stay European Health Card (EKVK/EHIC) or the E 111

Please present your European Health Card or your E 111 form so we can settle the costs of your treatment/your stay directly with your health insurance provider. We would point out that in Austria there is a statutory deductible excess for an in-patient stay to be paid by patients. At the moment, this daily amount is 12.48 (as at: 2020) and is to be paid by you in person.

 

International billing (non-EU)

If you are not an EU citizen, any costs that are incurred will be invoiced directly to you.

 

Special class / Supplementary insurance

If you have additional private insurance cover, please present your insurance card and a form of ID. We will then, with approval in writing from you, contact your insurer directly to settle the cover of costs for your stay and your treatment. When your insurer confirms that they will cover the costs, the bill will be settled directly with your insurer. If they will not settle the costs, you can of course avail of our extensive special class services at your own expense.

We would however like to clarify that in Austria choosing a special class double or single room is not possible, without the full treatment/full stay being charged at a special class rate.
