Your stay at the University Hospital Basel
Our aim is to ensure that our patients receive the best possible care from the time of their admission to the day they are discharged.
Your treatment request
Together with the clinics and treatment centers of the University Hospital Basel, we will be happy to find the most suitable examination and treatment options for you.
For this we require current medical reports (not older than 3 months). These should be typed (not handwritten) and written in English or German . Furthermore, the current condition of the patient is important to us and whether any treatment is currently taking place.
You can send your documents by e-mail, post or fax or use our request form.
We will endeavor to provide you with information on any treatment or examination options within 2 working days and inform you of the associated costs.
Together with the treatment recommendations and the cost estimate, we will send you a provisional treatment date on request. We will confirm this appointment once we have received your payment. In general, we do not have long waiting times and short-term appointments are possible. Our Patient Service Managers will do their best to organize an appointment tailored to your needs.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Financial
Administrative and financial matters are handled by the International Service of the University Hospital Basel. If you have any questions about the cost estimate and billing, please contact us.
Based on the treatment recommendations, an overview of the expected costs of the treatment will be drawn up. This is a preliminary calculation based on the available diagnostic data and may differ from the actual costs.
Payment options
Once you have decided on treatment at the University Hospital Basel, we ask you to transfer the total amount stated in the cost estimate to the account of the University Hospital Basel. Payment by credit card is also possible.
Final invoice
4-6 weeks after completion of the treatment, we will determine the costs of the services actually provided. If these are less than the advance payment, we will refund the remaining amount immediately. In some cases, especially if complications arise, the final invoice may require an additional payment.
The invoice is an official document issued exclusively in German.
