even for locals, never mind expats. Therefore, it\u2019s no great surprise that there are often multiple answers to any given question regarding healthcare in Austria, and many of them can seem utterly contradictory. As an English and German native speaker who has resided in Austria most of my life, I might be able to point you in the right direction. And while anyone is welcome to book a medical appointment with me, anyone who knows me knows that helping people is my number one priority, so I would also be happy to advise anyone on the Austrian healthcare system as part of their consultation.<\/p>\n<p>I have written this brief guide to the health insurance system in Austria for expatriates, since I know from my 25 years of practice how many of you have been challenged by, and frustrated with, the Austrian healthcare system. I have been in the position to help many people individually, but in writing of my experience here, I hope to be able to provide a modicum of clarity to many others, particularly those expats or foreign visitors who plan to consult or undergo treatment in Austria.<\/p>\n<p>Asides from building my career in Austria, I have also worked both in the U.S. and UK and am thus also able to refer to each system respectively if there are questions. The commonwealth is usually aligned with UK system, but health care always varies to some degree across countries and regions.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_enable_color=&#8221;off&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;10px||6px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||11px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.6em&#8221; header_2_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;35px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.3em&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;30px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;28px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; text_orientation_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; text_orientation_phone=&#8221;center&#8221; text_orientation_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A Brief Guide to the Healthcare System in Austria<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you have lived in Vienna for a while, you have probably observed that Austrians don\u2019t really stick to rules in their more superficial manifestations (such as jay walking or littering). However, they will usually obey the broader law as if their life depended on it \u2013 but yet, in other instances, observing regulation is the exception that proves the rule. This multifaceted attitude is important to understand because it\u2019s a central factor contributing to the confusion foreigners in Austria may experience. What\u2019s important in order to navigate it is that you do not feel overwhelmed or inadequate \u2013 Austrians themselves often cannot make heads or tails of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;5px||12px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;2_5,3_5&#8243; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;||20px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;||20px||false|false&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;align-items:center;&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; background_enable_image_tablet=&#8221;off&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|20px|20px|20px|20px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/drsabanas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/austria-.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Austrian insurance policy &#8221; title_text=&#8221;State Health Insurance&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|10px|10px|10px|10px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#B69154&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|10px|10px|10px|10px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;35px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.3em&#8221; header_6_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; header_6_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; header_6_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; header_6_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;30px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;28px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; header_6_font_size_tablet=&#8221;16px&#8221; header_6_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; header_6_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>1. State Health Insurance<\/h2>\n<h6>There are two major systems in Austria. First and most importantly, there is the state health insurance: the Gebietskrankenkasse (simply referred to as \u00d6GK).<\/h6>\n<p>In addition, there is health insurance by state (Bundesl\u00e4nder): for example, the Viennese Wiener Gebietskrankenkasse, (\u00d6GK Wien), the Lower Austrian Nieder\u00f6sterreichische Gebietskrankenkasse, and so forth. There are also other, smaller state insurances such as KFA and BVA, which are similar to the \u00d6GK.<\/p>\n<p>The majority of individuals living in Austria are insured via \u00d6GK, which gets deducted from income so as to appear \u201cfree\u201d. Spouses, children, lower- or no-income people of Austrian citizenship, and refugees are insured for free. This corresponds to the Medicare\/Medicaid systems in the U.S. or the NHS in the UK. Individuals without private options are simply required to register at the \u00d6GK.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;3_5,2_5&#8243; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;align-items:center;&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_css_main_element_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; custom_css_main_element_tablet=&#8221;display: flex;||flex-wrap: wrap;&#8221; custom_css_main_element_phone=&#8221;display: flex;||flex-wrap: wrap;&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#B69154&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|10px|10px|10px|10px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_css_main_element_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; custom_css_main_element_tablet=&#8221;order: 2;||margin-top:30px!important;&#8221; custom_css_main_element_phone=&#8221;order: 2;||order: 2;||margin-top:30px!important;&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;35px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.3em&#8221; header_6_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; header_6_text_color=&#8221;#B69154&#8243; header_6_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; header_6_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;30px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;28px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; header_6_font_size_tablet=&#8221;16px&#8221; header_6_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; header_6_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>2. Private Insurance<\/h2>\n<p>There is also a choice between private insurers. I often compare the options to air travel: the <span>\u00d6GK<\/span> is Economy, while private insurance is First Class. The plane moves in the same direction, only with private insurance, you have more comfort, and you are prioritized over those in Economy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For private insurance options, I will connect you with private insurance brokers, who offer you a choice between plans. The standard plan is a \u2018hospital bed\u2019 private insurance, which ensures that in extreme cases you will be placed immediately in a class facility with a guaranteed hospital residency and as much privacy as available. Extra options in this category are the \u201cWahlarzt\u201d (choose your own doctor) or \u201cAmbulanz\u201d options, which compensate you for visits to private doctors.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; background_enable_image_tablet=&#8221;off&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|20px|20px|20px|20px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_css_main_element_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; custom_css_main_element_tablet=&#8221;order: 1;&#8221; custom_css_main_element_phone=&#8221;order: 1;&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/drsabanas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/insurance.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Private Insurance&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Private Insurance&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|10px|10px|10px|10px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_enable_color=&#8221;off&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;3px||29px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.6em&#8221; header_2_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;35px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.3em&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;30px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;28px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; text_orientation_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; text_orientation_phone=&#8221;center&#8221; text_orientation_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Whence the Confusion?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">And thus, we arrive at the dilemma with Austrian regulation. Many doctors in Austria who work for a public hospital still have a private practice. How do you know a doctor\u2019s office is a private practice? They\u2019re usually termed \u201cPrivat Arzt\u201d or state that are \u201ckeine Kassen\u201d (state insurances). There are also sometimes \u201ckleine Kassen\u201d, meaning the KFA, BVA, and all the other smaller state insurances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Some doctors operating in a state hospital will have private offices, and sometimes these prioritize semi-private patients. For example, as a private doctor, I still perform most of my checkups via the \u00d6GK. So, most of the time, if you have no private insurance, extra costs can be kept at a minimum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you work at an international organization in Vienna, you can relax: you are riding first class, as premium health packages are usually included in employment benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: x-large;\">In Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The above are the basic essentials to understand about the Austrian Healthcare system, though there are a number of other things to be aware of and look out for as an expat unfamiliar with daily life in Vienna or the other regions in Austria.
