Explanation of access times
The overview above gives an indication of our access times by specialty. They are recalculated and updated on our website after each business day. Below are some explanations.
*Current access time
The mentioned 'Current access time' refers to the 3rd free opportunity in the calendar. This prospective definition is established by the NZa and also applied by us for the waiting time to treatments.
Access time for a second opinion is longer than for a regular appointment.

Waiting time mediation
If you find the access time too long, you can always contact us, or ask your health insurance company for waiting list mediation. Your health insurer can support you in this, so that you may be helped more quickly. The maximum acceptable waiting time jointly agreed upon by healthcare providers and healthcare insurers (the Treek norm) is 4 weeks for access to the outpatient clinic and diagnostics. For treatment, the maximum acceptable waiting time is 7 weeks.
