Before your stay at the WEGE KLINIK

Your admission to the WEGE Klinik

Normally, your GP or specialist will refer you to our clinic for further treatment after making a diagnosis. As soon as you have received the referral letter, call us and arrange the period of your stay with us. This gives you early certainty and allows you to take care of private matters in advance.

Before you can move into your room on the agreed date, there are still a few formalities to complete. Please bring the following documents with you:

• Health insurance card
• Referral form that you received from your family doctor or specialist
• Preliminary findings
• List of the medication you are currently taking
• Current blood values, if available (max. 14 days old)

You have enough time and peace and quiet here on site to fill out the necessary forms for us. If you have any questions or difficulties, we will of course be happy to help you.

The costs of your stay at the WEGE Klinik

Some reassuring news first: your health insurance will generally cover the costs of your stay at our clinic. As a person with statutory health insurance, you will only have to pay a co-payment of 10 euros per day – we have listed exceptions to this co-payment below.

If you wish, you can make your stay more pleasant with our additional services for a fee. Secure a particularly large room in a particularly quiet location, gain access to your own lounges and kitchen areas, expand your culinary options with a wider selection on our menu, stay in touch with your loved ones with your own telephone or keep yourself entertained with a TV in your room or magazines.

Please contact us to find out what we can do for you.
