Requests are assessed individually depending on the patient’s clinical picture, based on the medical findings. The calculations for inpatient treatment are based on the German DRG system.

Please note that treatments are not exclusively limited to one cost estimate. If further treatments are necessary or your stay is extended, you will receive an interim invoice. This must also be paid immediately. Our staff at the International Office will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

After receiving our cost estimate, please transfer the full amount to the specified bank account. Alternative payment options are credit card or cash payment.

As soon as we have received your payment, you can be admitted on the agreed treatment date.

Optional services are special services that can be selected in addition to the general hospital services.

A cost estimate for inpatient treatment is made up as follows:

Hospital services are billed using the DRG (Diagnosis Related Groups) flat rate and the currently valid nursing care revenue, as well as additional charges and surcharges.

The calculation of the DRG flat rate per case is based on the currently valid state prime rate. The agreed values of the Pettenkofer Klinik apply to the state prime rate and the nursing revenue.

If desired, additional optional services can be used.

Payment of the calculated amount must always be made prior to treatment. The transfer shall be made to the bank account indicated on the cost estimate using the purpose of payment indicated.

All fees incurred upon payment, such as fees from payment by credit card or bank transfer, shall be borne by the patient or payer.

The final invoice will be issued approx. 1-2 weeks after completion of the medical treatment. If the final invoice is higher than the cost estimate, the difference must be paid immediately.
Overpayments will of course be refunded.

The subsequent payment or refund is made in the same way as the advance payment – by bank transfer, credit card or cash.
