❓ FAQ: House Call Doctor Berlin
Who can book a house call doctor visit?
Anyone who needs medical assistance at home, in a hotel or at the workplace can book a house call with RAB Berlin. We treat privately insured patients, self-payers, tourists, business travellers, international families as well as elderly and care-dependent patients and their relatives. Parents with small children, pregnant women and people with limited mobility particularly benefit from the doctor coming to them rather than the other way round. The service suits acute complaints such as fever, infections, gastrointestinal problems or urinary tract infections, but is equally useful for routine follow-ups in chronic disease, blood pressure checks, blood draws, injections, infusions or wound care. You can book by phone or through our online form within a few minutes — also on behalf of someone else, for instance a parent or relative. You do not need a referral; just give us the relevant medical context when booking.
How quickly does a house call doctor arrive at home?
As a rule, the responsible doctor from RAB Berlin reaches you within 60 to 90 minutes after your booking. During quieter parts of the day or for visits in central Berlin districts, arrival is often even faster. At particularly busy times — Friday evenings, Sunday mornings, public holidays or during widespread infection waves — waiting times can stretch to about two hours. Our dispatch team gives you a realistic estimate at the time of booking and actively reaches out to you if any noticeable delay occurs. We operate daily from 6 a.m. to midnight, 365 days a year, including weekends and public holidays. For life-threatening symptoms please dial 112 instead — the rescue service is the right contact in such cases and arrives within minutes; RAB Berlin is the right choice for urgent but non-life-threatening complaints.
Who pays for the house visit?
Privately insured patients and civil servants entitled to subsidy (Beihilfe) can usually submit the invoice to their insurer or subsidy office for full reimbursement, because RAB Berlin bills strictly according to the German official scale of medical fees (GOÄ). Many international travel and expat health insurers also cover the costs — particularly important for tourists and business travellers in Berlin. Self-payers receive a transparent, easy-to-understand invoice and can pay in cash, by EC card or credit card directly after the consultation. Patients with statutory German health insurance can use the service as self-payers as well; however, reimbursement by the statutory funds is generally not provided, since this is a private medical service. On request, we issue the invoice in English, which makes processing with international insurers considerably faster. Our team is happy to outline the expected costs in advance, so that there are no surprises after the visit.
