Dear colleagues, dear parents,
Due to a high volume of patients and in order to better assign patients to the correct consultation hours, we are restructuring the appointment system for pediatric consultations.
From August 1, 2024, appointments for children with statutory health insurance for our vision training and children’s consultation hours will only be made upon presentation of a written report from the pediatrician regarding the (abnormal) U examination with the suspected diagnosis and the findings, as well as a referral form. Based on the findings, our doctors will then decide whether the examination constitutes a preventive check-up or whether there is already a clear pathological finding.
The preventive check-up will be billed according to the fee schedule for doctors, as there is no preventive eye examination covered by statutory health insurance in ophthalmology (even for children).
Parents must pay for preventive examinations for children themselves. These cost €50 for basic care and an additional €30 if pupil dilation is necessary.
We offer children’s consultations at our locations at Breitenbachplatz 21 and Nürnberger Str. 67 and primarily serve Steglitz-Zehlendorf, Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, and Berlin-Schöneberg. Requests from patients from other districts will be processed on a secondary basis.
On behalf of our patients and colleagues, we ask for your understanding and look forward to a good working relationship.
Sincerely,
Dr. Bendschneider & Dr. Sigal Partnerschaftsgesellschaft
