Fees
AugenZentrum Kaisermühlen is a private ophthalmology practice, which means that we do not have a contract with any national health insurance provider.
​
It is important to note that all of our services will be charged directly to you. We strive to maintain transparency of our fees and will discuss any additional costs with you in advance. A list of our fees will be provided to you upon registration.
​
After your visit, you can submit the fee note to your national health insurance provider or private health insurance company for reimbursement. However, the amount that you receive back will depend on your insurance company's policies. Please be aware that your national health insurance will not reimburse you for any further costs if you have already received treatment from a community ophthalmologist in the same billing period. Visiting an eye outpatient department in the hospital will not affect your reimbursement.
You can pay the fee note by debit or Mastercard, or in cash at our practice.
​
If you require surgery, we will discuss the details with you and determine a price based on the complexity of the procedure.
