Is the service subject to costs for patients?

TARDOC-compliant billing via Tiers Garant or Tiers Payant

Depending on the billing method, the dermatological service can be billed in a TARDOC-compliant way via Tiers Garant or Tiers Payant.

For referring physicians, it is particularly relevant that the billing process is clearly defined and that patients are guided correctly through the intended process. The dermatological service itself is billed according to the selected model.

Within the family doctor model, patients can be integrated via the intended referral pathway. Whether and to what extent the costs are covered by health insurance depends on the insurance model, franchise, deductible and the applicable tariff requirements.

If needed, the referring practice should inform patients which billing method is intended in the specific case and whether the dermatological service will be processed via Tiers Garant or Tiers Payant.
