PATIENTS
Your treatment at the Földiklinik
The Földiklinik treats patients with conditions of the lymphatic system of all severities. Your treating physician (usually your general practitioner) submits a rehabilitation application to the relevant funding body with the wish that you receive treatment at the Földiklinik. For employed individuals, the pension insurance provider is usually responsible; otherwise, it is the health insurance fund.
Your funding body will inform you and, at the same time, us, once the application has been approved. Due to the varying severities of lymphatic disorders, your documents will be assessed by our interdisciplinary medical team. This evaluation often leads to a further need for clarification between us and your funding body.
This way, we can ensure that you receive the optimal treatment for your individual medical condition.
Right to Choose and Decide
Make use of your right to choose and decide to receive your treatment at the Földiklinik or any other clinic of your choice.
What is the right to choose and decide?
According to §8 SGB IX, every patient has the right to select a facility for inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation. You do not need to follow any clinic list provided by your health insurance provider (e.g. pension insurance or health insurance fund).
Important: You have the right to freely choose any suitable rehabilitation clinic. The Földiklinik meets all the requirements for your preferred clinic:
- The Földiklinik has supply or placement contracts with the health insurance providers (e.g. according to §111 SGB V with statutory health insurance; or according to § 38 SGB IX with German pension insurances).
- The Földiklinik is certified according to applicable quality standards.
- The Földiklinik is proven to be suitable for the treatment of lymphological diseases.
How to correctly apply the right to choose and decide:
- If you have not yet submitted a rehabilitation application , but have a preferred clinic: Submit the form for the right to choose and decide directly with the rehabilitation application (Download Portal).
- If you have already sent your rehabilitation application but have not yet received a response: Submit the form for the right to choose and decide in addition and refer to your rehabilitation application (Download Portal).
- If your rehabilitation application has already been approved for another clinic: Submit a request for change of treatment facility (Download Portal).
Things to consider when filling out the form:
Make your reasoning clear and precise: Your health insurance provider will decide solely based on your application whether your preferred clinic is approved. Emphasise the medical suitability of the preferred clinic. The medical suitability of the clinic is more important than cost-effectiveness. In other words: If your preferred clinic is medically better suited than the one assigned by the health insurer, it will be approved, even if this may incur higher costs.
Arguments for your preferred clinic
If you have not yet submitted a rehabilitation application , but have a preferred clinic: Submit the form for the right to choose and decide directly with the rehabilitation application. The medical suitability is the strongest argument for the preferred clinic. Further argumentation aids can be found in the (Download Portal).
Competent Care in a Family Atmosphere
I really feel well looked after. The entire team is not only highly competent but also very approachable – you can talk about anything and are always greeted with friendliness.
Open Communication
I particularly appreciate the open communication: whether I have questions or concerns, I am always taken seriously. After each treatment, I notice an improvement, and the results are clearly visible: my arm has noticeably slimmed down, and the pain has significantly reduced. This gives me a whole new lease of life.
The therapists always check in to see if everything is alright or if we should make any adjustments. This personal care makes a crucial difference for me.
Compression Therapy
For the success of compression therapy, comprehensive advice from the doctor as well as proper measurement of the stockings is essential. This is conducted at precisely defined measuring points. In order to work effectively, compression stockings must fit perfectly. Sanitation facilities with years of substantial expertise in this field generally provide the most suitable stocking supply based on experience.
The prescribing of medical compression stockings for the period following a hospital stay is conducted by lymphologically experienced doctors in our facility. The custom-made medical compression stockings (Class I - IV) are checked for fit and effectiveness before your discharge from the clinic.
From Standstill to Visible Success
The treatment here was a real turning point for me. Where there were hardly any progress before, I now see significant improvements. The numbers speak for themselves: I have reduced each of my legs by 5 litres in circumference.
The Path to Success
Even though compression therapy is quite strenuous, the visible improvement more than compensates for the effort. I even enjoy the time during the treatment. What once seemed like an endless challenge, I now experience as a manageable task with measurable results.
