What is mentioned on your hospital bill?

A hospital invoice consists of a global overview with a summary of the costs and a detailed overview. Always check the invoice thoroughly before paying.

First page: summary of costs

These are the costs you will be charged, divided into eight categories. Only the sections that apply to you are listed.

• Accommodation costs
  Costs for your stay such as use of room and bed, meals and nursing care. You only pay a small personal share of the day's stay price. But if you choose a single room, the hospital also charges a room supplement.
• Flat-rate costs
  The hospital may charge part of the costs per admission with a fixed amount.
• Pharmacy
  For example for medicines, implants and medical devices.
• Professional fees
  For doctors and other healthcare providers for whom you have to pay a personal share or supplement. The supplement may only be charged if you choose a single room.
• Other deliveries
  For example for blood products and plaster materials.
• Patient transport
  Costs for urgent and non-urgent transport provided by the hospital.
• Miscellaneous costs
  Non-medical costs such as additional room comfort and requested drinks.
• VAT on aesthetic procedures
  For example, with a breast enlargement.
