Services with additional charges

Our practice tries to avoid services at an additional cost for children and families covered by German statutory health insurance. It is our concern to provide all necessary health services completely as statutory health insurance benefits. We also try, wherever possible, to prescribe medications as full health insurance benefits.

Uninsured children

We will be happy to discuss the options available by telephone.

Fee for school certificates & sports examinations

The health system will remain stable if we keep costs in check. This also applies to medical revenues. We have to charge a fee for school certificates or sports examinations.

Special services by state health insurers

Several statutory health insurers offer special contractual offers for their insured. The so-called AOK-contract (by the AOK insurance) is particularly well known. This contract, for examples, requires patients to waive their right to choose their own doctor. Our practice does not participate in such contracts.

Special therapeutic methods

We do not prescribe any medications of the so-called special therapeutic directions (e.g. homeopathy, naturopathy), no ineffective medications (e.g. cough syrups or diarrhea remedies) and no services without proof of efficacy (e.g. osteopathy, magnetic resonance). However, we are happy to name medical colleagues who offer these services.

We treat everyone

We care for an above-average number of children and young people with chronic diseases and disabilities. The practice owner was a founding member of the Association of Doctors for People with Disabilities.

Diversity

The practice serves children and families from over 100 countries. All major religions are represented, and certainly also the most diverse political attitudes among parents and young people.

Treatment costs

Self-pay services are avoided wherever possible. Medication and therapies must be necessary and effective (no special therapy directions). It is the need and not our budget that decides.

Error culture

We make mistakes - and speak about them. As few as possible should happen, but we are complex individuals and medical outcomes are not always predictable.

Children's rights

Safeguarding children's rights occasionally requires a difficult weighing-up of "bodily harm" and painful procedures. The children's wishes shall significantly influence our decisions.

Change of doctor

A change of doctor and a change of practice are possible at any time. Parents and children receive a summarising letter when changing practice.

Care after the age of 18

Further care after the age of 18 can be discussed for patients with multiple severe disabilities.

Advertising

We do not run advertisements for medical services or accept monetary benefits or other advantages from third parties.

We collaborate

The practice is well linked with other practices, clinics and experts throughout the district, so that for specific diagnoses the expertise of others can be consulted or their services can be referred to.

Advanced training for doctors

The owner of the practice, Dr. Diener, has worked in hospital and management positions for 25 years and is licensed to provide advanced training paediatrics (1 year) and neuropaediatrics (1 year), while Dr Stottmeier is licensed for paediatrics (1 year) and general medicine (1 year).

We offer:

• two full-time training positions

• remuneration according to the respective, collective salary agreement, and 13th month salary

Training for medical assistances

Our practice trains medical assistants (German abbreviation: “MFAs”). We also take on applicants with a certificate from a lower secondary school (German: “Hauptschulabschluss”) or with German as their second or foreign language. The decisive factors are commitment and sincerity. So far, all our trainees have successfully graduated and found immediate employment in our or another practice. The occasionally high workload is compensated by a good team spirit.

We offer:

• three training positions

• Remuneration according to the respective, collective salary agreement, and 13th month salary

For doctors and medical assistances

We organize job shadowing on to how to read EEG results and you may also accompany our doctors for the purpose of further training. Simply contact us to arrange an appointment.

For pupils

We support internships of high-school pupils (in Germany typically one week). You need to present your vaccination documentation and sign a confidentiality agreement. The pupils may accompany the doctors and assistants. Quite a few of our interns have later ended up choosing a career in the medical sector.
