Corona Notes
Current information on CoViD-19 / SARS-CoV-2 Omicron
We are happy to be there for you even in Corona times!
Our on-call service is here for you, even in a crisis. We also perform swabbing for Corona (Covid-19) PCR testing. Our labs call us after 6 to 24 hours, depending on workload. We will then contact you immediately to discuss the results of the CoVid-19 test. All other illnesses also continue and should receive adequate medical care. Our physicians will also come to you in protective clothing. For us, a thorough examination is always part of the process. Telemedicine is prone to error and should only be used when there is no other way.
We always have enough capacity to offer home visits on short notice. So please do not hesitate, we are happy to be on the road for you
+++ Update: currently, all people in Berlin with symptoms of infection should be tested for Corona. Some countries require inbound travelers to have a current Covid 19 test. If you are a travel returnee in quarantine, testing is usually useful. If in doubt, we will be happy to advise you and, if necessary, swab you quickly in a home visit +++
+++ Update: All of our on-call physicians have CoVid-19 antigen rapid tests. To have a test result while still in the home visit, this is an excellent addition to PCR lab testing +++
++++++ Update: Our entire team is fully vaccinated against Covid-19! Of course, we continue to test ourselves regularly and follow hygiene rules +++
Higher costs due to corona-related additional expenditure
Before Corona we communicated from 140 € per assignment, due to the increased effort we write 2022 now, from 150 € per home visit. (The actual costs are still dependent on the actual service provided and will continue to be charged according to GOÄ).
Because of the Corona pandemic we need to protect ourselves and you with increased effort. The disposable items and also the associated effort to completely disinfect the equipment unfortunately increase the cost somewhat.
We strive to stay below €200 per deployment.
For Corona (CoViD-19) PCR testing, our collaborating laboratories independently charge about €150. Possibly, due to the situation, these are retroactively covered by the health insurance companies or health offices. Initially, however, you will unfortunately have to bear the costs yourself.

Home visits also for Corona patients in home quarantine.
All our on-call physicians also examine and treat patients suffering from SARS-CoV-2 in quarantine at home. Often the question arises whether a transfer to a hospital makes sense, here our doctors can give a well-founded second opinion if necessary. In most cases, the infection can be overcome well at home. A home visit by one of our doctors can be a good support.
For scheduled home visits, the easiest way is to use our online form if a home visit is desired today please contact our switchboard.
