Important notes
Important information before your appointment in our podiatry practice
To ensure that your podiatry treatment runs smoothly and that we have enough time for your individual complaints, we ask you to note a few points before your first visit:
1. What to bring to your treatment
Please come with clean feet and, if available, bring current medical documents or findings with you. Wear your usual everyday shoes - this will enable us to better assess whether your foot problems may be caused by unsuitable footwear and, if necessary, give you recommendations for more suitable footwear.
2. What is a medical prescription?
A medical prescription is a form issued by a doctor with which you can receive podiatric therapy - e.g. for the treatment of nail changes, callus problems or ingrown nails. This prescription is issued by your general practitioner, diabetologist, dermatologist or orthopaedist - especially for medical foot problems such as diabetes mellitus with neuropathy or angiopathy.
A prescription may also be required for treatment with nail braces (e.g. for ingrown nails). It is best to talk to your doctor about this and point out the possibility of complex podiatric treatment or nail clasp correction.
Important: The prescription must not be older than 28 days at the time of the first treatment appointment.
3. Treatment contract and data protection – prepare now
To shorten waiting times, you can fill out our treatment contract – including the privacy information – at home before your appointment and bring it along signed.
If you are unable to print out the forms, you can of course also obtain them from us on site
4. How much do I pay with a prescription?
With a valid prescription we bill your statutory health insurance directly. You only pay the statutory co-payment: 10 % of the treatment costs plus €10 per prescription. Children and young people under 18 are exempt; please bring your exemption certificate if you have one.
5. Cancelling an appointment
Your appointment is reserved exclusively for you. If you cannot make it, please cancel at least 24 hours in advance by phone on +49 9602 9207489 or by email to info@podologie-schley.de.
For later cancellations or no-shows we charge a cancellation fee of €30, which is not covered by health insurance – as set out in our treatment contract.
