Häufige Fragen zum Hausarztprogramm (HZV) / Primärarzt-Prinzip
Does the General Practitioners Programme cost anything?
No. Participation in the General Practitioners Programme is free of charge for you. All services are covered by your statutory health insurance.
Can I change my General Practicioner after enrolling?
Yes, changing your GP is generally possible. Depending on your health insurance provider, a minimum commitment period may apply. We’re happy to advise you personally on the details.
For whom is GPP particularly important/recommended?
The General Practicioner Programme is aimed in particular at patients who want more than just acute care and value long-term, coordinated medical support.
Furthermore, if you need regular medication, check-ups, and referrals, the General Practicioner Programme/primary care physician principle makes sense for you.
Do I always need a referral before seeing a specialist?
Yes. As a GPP participant, you first contact us before visiting a specialist and receive a referral. This comes with clear advantages for you: With GP-centred care, we keep a complete overview of your medical history, test results, and reports. This allows us to coordinate your treatment more effectively, avoid duplicate examinations, and tailor medical decisions specifically to you. At the same time, the process remains simple: you can also request referrals online, and we’ll forward them directly to the specialist practice of your choice.
Can I still come to Smartpraxis if I am not a regular patient?
Yes, of course. As a guest patient, you will naturally continue to have access to acute care at our facility. However, only our regular patients have access to the full range of services offered by Smartpraxis.
