Frequently asked questions from private patients to the cardiologist

Here we answer common questions that private patients ask in connection with cardiology treatment.

Does my private health insurance (PKV) cover all services?

The vast majority of medically necessary services billed in accordance with the GOÄ are fully reimbursed by private health insurance companies and state aid.
