Patients with severe symptoms should call an ambulance or contact a hospital emergency room. No one should go to a hospital emergency room without calling first. When they call, they should say that they may be infected with coronavirus so that vital preventive measures can be put in place for ambulance transport and for the patient’s arrival at the hospital. In line with the recommendations of the RKI, confirmed cases of coronavirus should be kept in isolation at the hospital. All of Berlin’s hospitals are able to isolate and treat suspected and confirmed cases of coronavirus.

A number of hospitals in Berlin have set up special coronavirus screening centers. Here, too, you should call beforehand to ask when and how you should travel to the screening center; please observe preventive measures when traveling to the center.

Costs

There are uniform criteria for the assumption of costs for the test in Germany. If your doctor decides that a test is necessary, the costs for the coronavirus test (59 euros in accordance with the standard EBM No. 32816) will be assumed by the health office or the patient’s health insurance.People who do not have German health insurance will have to clarify with their own health insurance company whether that company will assume the costs.

COVID-19 doctors’ offices in Berlin

Thirty family practice doctors’ offices in Berlin have agreed to treat patients who may have COVID-19 but, for various reasons, are unable to go to their own family practice physicians. These COVID-19 offices have instituted the necessary protective measures and will ensure that patients with a suspected case of COVID-19 can be seen and treated separately.

Berlin’s Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (Kassenärztliche Vereinigung Berlin) has information on where these offices are located and what conditions need to be met by patients who want to be treated there
