Outpatient and inpatient care
Medical treatment varies from patient to patient. The same applies to the administrative processing of patient files – you will receive individualised assistance in accordance with your personal situation.
Nevertheless, to give you an idea of the most important stages of your treatment, we have put together a summary of information that applies to most patients.
Outpatient procedures take place in a day clinic. You can leave the clinic on the same day.
Inpatient stays refer to all treatments that require at least one overnight stay in hospital, or instances where the patient is transferred to a hospital after an outpatient procedure (e.g. after emergency surgery). If you choose to have treatment at one of our hospitals, we will organise all aspects of your stay for you.
Patients with international insurance
Outpatient care
If you have international health insurance and are interested in an outpatient consultation with one of our doctors, simply contact Hirslanden International. We will record your personal details including your insurance policy and medical needs. Please send us any relevant medical reports and documentation you may have.
As soon as we have received your information, we will contact your preferred doctor to request a medical opinion. This will include the details of any necessary treatment.
If your preferred doctor is able to perform the treatment, we will gladly arrange an appointment for you. Should your desired doctor not be able to perform the treatment, we will – if possible – recommend another doctor from one of our hospitals.
Please discuss the invoicing and payment directly with your attending doctor. After the treatment is completed you can submit the invoice to your insurance company.
Inpatient care
If you are a patient with international health insurance and require inpatient care please contact Hirslanden International directly. We will gladly record your personal and medical details and kindly ask that you provide your insurance policy and any relevant medical reports and documentation.
We will ask your preferred doctor to provide a medical opinion regarding your case. This will include details of any necessary inpatient treatment (including surgery), as well as the doctor’s fee.
If your preferred doctor is able to perform the treatment, we will prepare a comprehensive quote for you. It will also include any additional services, you wish to take advantage of during your stay. Should your desired doctor not be able to perform the treatment, we will – if possible – suggest another specialist from one of our hospitals.
After you have accepted our quote, we will get in contact with you to arrange a date for the inpatient procedure.
In the meantime, we will send your health insurance provider a request regarding the coverage of costs for your treatment. We will inform you whether your insurer accepts, partially accepts or rejects the request. If it is accepted, you can be admitted to the hospital on the arranged date. If your insurer only partially accepts or rejects the request, you will be required to pay a deposit in the amount of the uncovered costs, before the inpatient procedure can take place. There are three ways to make the payment:

After the procedure, we will issue a detailed invoice, including additional services you received. If you insurer is covering all the costs, we will directly send it the final invoice directly to them. If your insurer is only partially paying the costs, we will send the invoice to your personal address.
