PATIENTS
Your treatment at the Földiklinik
The Földiklinik treats patients with diseases of the lymphatic system in all degrees of severity. Your attending physician (usually your general practitioner) submits a request for rehabilitation to the relevant funding provider, expressing the wish for you to be treated at the Földiklinik. For employed individuals, the pension insurance provider is usually responsible; otherwise, it is the health insurance fund.
Your funding provider will inform you and us simultaneously once the request has been approved. Due to the varying degrees of severity of lymphatic diseases, your documentation will be assessed by our interdisciplinary medical team. This evaluation often leads to a further need for clarification between us and your funding provider.
This ensures that you receive the optimal treatment for your individual medical condition.
Right to Choice and Preference
Use your right to choice and preference to receive your treatment at the Földiklinik or any other clinic of your choice.
What is the right to choice and preference?
According to §8 SGB IX, every patient has the right to choose a facility for inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation themselves. You do not need to refer to any clinic list of your health insurer (e.g. pension insurance or health insurance fund).
Important: You have the right to freely select any suitable rehabilitation clinic. The Földiklinik meets all the requirements for your chosen clinic:
- The Földiklinik has care or placement contracts with the payers (e.g. in accordance with §111 SGB V with statutory health insurances; or according to §38 SGB IX with German pension insurances).
- The Földiklinik is certified according to the applicable quality standards
- The Földiklinik is demonstrably suitable for the treatment of lymphological diseases.
How to correctly apply the right to choice and preference:
- If you have not yet submitted an application for rehabilitation but have a chosen clinic: Submit the form for the right to choice and preference together with the rehab application (Download Portal).
- If you have already sent your rehab application but have not yet received a response: Submit the form for the right to choice and preference subsequently and refer to your rehab application (Download Portal).
- If your rehab application has already been approved for another clinic: Submit an application for change of healing institution (Download Portal).
Things to consider when filling out the form:
Provide clear and precise justification: Your health insurance decides solely based on your application whether your chosen clinic is approved. Emphasise the medical suitability of the chosen clinic. The medical suitability of the clinic is more important than the economic viability requirement. In other words: If your chosen clinic is medically more suitable than the one assigned by the insurer, it will be approved, even if it may incur higher costs.
Arguments for your chosen clinic
If you have not yet submitted an application for rehabilitation but have a chosen clinic: Submit the form for the right to choice and preference directly with your rehab application. The medical suitability is the strongest argument for the chosen clinic. Further arguments can be found in the (Download Portal).
Competent Care in a Family Atmosphere
I truly 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 kindness.
Open Communication
I particularly value the open communication: whether I have questions or concerns, I am always taken seriously. After each treatment, I feel 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 ask if everything is alright or if we should make any adjustments. This personal care makes all the difference for me.
Compression Therapy
Key to the success of compression therapy is comprehensive consultation by the doctor as well as the correct measurement of the stockings. This takes place at precisely specified measurement points. In order to work properly, the compression stockings must fit perfectly. Medical supply companies with years of expertise in this field typically provide the best-fitting stocking supply.
The prescription of medical compression stockings for the time after hospital discharge is done 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 Stagnation to Visible Success
For me, the treatment here was a real turning point. Where there were hardly any noticeable improvements before, I now see significant progress. The numbers speak for themselves: I have 5 litres less circumference on each of my legs.
The Path to Success
Even though compression therapy can be quite demanding, the visible improvement more than compensates for the effort. I even enjoy the time during the treatment. What previously felt like an endless challenge, I now experience as a manageable task with measurable results.
Stations
The Földiklinik has 152 beds. Some of the rooms are designed to be accessible for those with severe disabilities.
The comfortable rooms are equipped with shower/WC and some have a south-facing balcony. All rooms are accessible with the lift.
In the rooms, you will find telephone connections and satellite TV – including international channels. Internet/Wi-Fi access is available either in the rooms or in the communal areas.
Accompanying Persons
You are welcome to bring accompanying persons, such as children or dependent relatives, with you during your inpatient stay with us. However, this requires a prior internal review. Accompanying persons also have the option to take part in certain therapies on-site for a separate fee.
