Going home

Your discharge from the hospital is always determined in consultation with the attending physician. Before your dismissal, clearly discuss which care you need to continue at home.

Paying after your admission

You will not need to pay for your admission during your stay in the hospital. There is also no need to pay immediately after your admission: we will send your invoice directly to your health insurance provider and your hospital insurance provider first. You will then receive an invoice for your personal share.
