Treatment in Germany without Intermediaries

Our company "Compass Medical" arranges the arrival of foreign patients and accompanying persons to Germany for the purpose of diagnosis and treatment, as well as all the necessary support. Our company’s activities are registered as "Mediation services". In order for potential patients to understand what activities our company is conducting, I would like to review the main principles on which our activities are built, as well as to disclose the positive and negative aspects of the work of intermediary companies.

In recent years, many citizens from the CIS countries have resorted to the help of German specialists to solve health problems that have arisen. The medical industry in Germany is famous throughout the world for its impeccable reputation; its services are carried out at the highest level thanks to the professionalism of specialists and the assistance of the latest technologies, which provide patients with the widest choice of services from health diagnostics and emergency care. Treatment in Germany is high quality, but it comes at a price. The first question asked by a person who applied for help in our company is the cost of treatment in Germany.

The pricing of the German clinic is influenced by objective and subjective factors. Here are some of them:

• Federal land in Germany, on the territory of which the clinic and local laws are located, which allow clinics to establish various kinds of discounts or extra charges for their services;

• In Germany, there are different clinics - university, state or private. Depending on the status and prominence of the clinic, there may be a difference in price;

• Diagnosis and age of the patient, time spent in the German clinic (for inpatient treatment);

• Living conditions in the clinic (room comfort, type of accommodation);

• There are international departments in the clinic that apply a 20-50% markup to the cost of treatment;

• The status of a specialist during the examination and treatment (professorial or non-professorial). The cost of treatment with professorial consultation is increased by an additional 20-30%. The refusal of a professorial consultation is always possible, this does not in any way affect the quality and outcome of the treatment;

• There are many factors that affect prices in German clinics. All these nuances are familiar to experts of intermediary companies organizing medical care in Germany. There are countless examples of patients paying much more for treatment on their own than what they would have paid through an intermediary company. 

Therefore, every German clinic seeks to attract as many foreign patients as possible, willingly cooperating with intermediary companies, which, in turn, "lead" those who need treatment.

Where does the potential patient receive the initial information?

From their attending physician, from the Internet, from acquaintances who, themselves or their loved ones, were being treated in Germany.

In all cases, it is recommended that you contact a company – this can be the international department of the clinic or a private person – to serve as the mediator in the organization of your treatment.
