The destination at a glance
The centre for the Bavarian side
Syrgenstein 23.8 kilometres, Bachhagel 20.7, Sontheim 17.7. If you live in the Dillingen district, the KfH centre on Ziegelstraße is your shortest route – and we drive this corner every day anyway.
- Fixed in the schedule instead of booked afresh each time. Your three appointments a week are permanently in our schedule.
- We take care of the approval. Including when your insurer is based in Bavaria and our business in Baden-Württemberg – that is everyday work for us.
- We wait. Four to five hours is normal, and it is allowed for.
- At the entrance, not in the car park. After treatment your circulation is weak – we come to you.
- We come inside with you, if you would like that.
Costs, prescription, approval
- Prescription: A Muster 4 form from your nephrologist, issued for a longer period – not per trip.
- Approval: Dialysis is a high-frequency treatment, box 1d on the form. It requires approval, but is granted in practically every case. We obtain the approval for you.
- Co-payment: 10 per cent of the fare, at least 5 and at most 10 euros per trip.
- Co-payment exemption: With three trips a week the annual cap is reached quickly. After that you pay nothing more – applying for the exemption is worth it.
- Billing: directly with your health insurer. You pay nothing up front.
General guidance, not a statement from your health insurer.
What we drive – and what we do not
- Seated passengers. A folding wheelchair and a rollator come along.
- If you have to stay in your wheelchair, we arrange the trip through our partner firm – one call to us is enough.
- We do not carry out stretcher transports or carry-chair transfers down stairs.
