Private medicine in a private practice
Your child and its well-being are the center of our attention. All diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are performed in a pleasant atmosphere and without any time-pressure. Our main principle is to treat our patients as autonomous personalities, whose needs are to be met with respect and patience. We are pleased to answer all your questions and address all concerns with empathy and without time restraints.
For children with respiratory problems or asthma, spirometry (lung function) as well as measuring FeNo is available in addition to ECG.
Allergy diagnostics, e.g. skin tests for all common allergens are undertaken directly at the private practice in addition to all laboratory tests (in cooperation with a partner laboratory).
Extended allergy diagnostics and oral food challenge can be undertaken at the Pediatric Department at the clinic Ottakring, if required.
If special examinations or therapies that cannot be conducted at the private practice are necessary, we will be happy to support you in the treating hospital. Dr. Mädel is a senior consultant at the Pediatric Department at clinic Ottakring Vienna.
Interdisciplinary team
Only a comprehensive view of the child or adolescent can provide a holistic picture of the healing process. This is only possible within the framework of interdisciplinary patient care. In order to offer you the most comprehensive range of services possible, I work together with specialists from a wide range of fields in pediatrics and physiotherapy – the advantage for you: a high-quality, holistic range of treatments.
Short-term appointments, short waiting times, sufficient time for our patients.
Our private practice is a so called “Wahlarztpraxis” (only for private patients). Because we are independent from general health insurance rates, we take as much time as necessary for you and your child – without constraints of general health insurance companies. This also enables us to offer short-term appointments. Hence, we can offer short waiting times. Assessments without an appointment are usually not possible for organizational reasons, but an appointment can generally be organized promptly.
Invoicing:
You will receive a fee note after your appointment, which can be submitted to the general health insurance company. The health insurance company will reimburse you up to 80% of the general insurance rate (not the invoiced fee). It is not possible to charge the health insurance company directly for services rendered by private physicians.
Many private insurance companies cover the costs of the difference between the amount refunded by the general health insurance company and the fee for the visit to a private physician.
Please be aware that we only accept payment by card. We try to make our pricing policy as transparent as possible. Further information is available in person, by phone or via email.
As a private physician and pediatrician, Dr. Mädel can issue medical prescriptions, specialist referrals, prescriptions for your child (these are treated in pharmacies like general prescriptions) and various medical certificates (e.g. care leave).
