In case of illness

In case of illness

A list of doctors in Vienna can be found at praxisplan.at (search for language skills is possible) or docfinder.at. In case of health problems, please go directly to a practitioner in first place ("Arzt*Ärztin für Allgemeinmedizin").

In case you need a doctor you should try to find out in advance whether he/she is working together with the public Austrian health insurance service (“Österreichischen Gesundheitskasse ÖGK”).

In order to see the doctor, you need some kind of proof of insurance:

• European Union citizens can use their European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), when they go to see a doctor and do not have to pay for the basic medical services. But please call the doctors in advance to make sure that your card is accepted.
• If you have insured yourself directly with the Viennese health insurance, you will receive a health insurance card from them (and you do not have to pay for basic medical services)
• If you have private health insurance, please ask the insurance company what you have to do when you need to see a doctor.
