You can access public health insurance <strong>by paying a portion of your salary.<\/strong> This applies to everyone: you just have to get employed and your monthly payments will be automatically deducted. Your <strong>employer is responsible for enrolling you in public health insurance.<\/strong> For those with low or no income, healthcare is free. The rate of contributions is independent of nationality, place of residence in Austria or individual medical risk factors. However, you are not free to choose your public insurer. This is determined by your occupation. The<strong> comprehensive coverage<\/strong> of the public insurance<strong> includes high-quality treatment for everything<\/strong> from the common cold to heart surgery, plus free yearly check-ups for adults and support for moms to be. After you register, your health insurance company will mail you an <strong>E-Card<\/strong> that keeps track of your claims, medications, and your medical history.<strong> It is very important that you have your E- Card always with you, especially for your medical appointments.<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Private health insurance<\/strong><br \/>In addition to public health insurance, you can choose a private healthcare insurance. This has <strong>some advantages,<\/strong> such as <strong>almost no waiting times,<\/strong> a <strong>wider choice of physicians,<\/strong> and freedom of choice between public or private clinics and hospitals. Although a private insurance has no impact on the quality of care, you have a<strong> better comfort of care.<\/strong> For example, you can choose a private or a double room in a hospital, instead of sharing a room with other people. Most people who have private insurance use it as a supplement to public insurance. The market for private health insurance providers in Austria is huge. In general, <strong>the older you are the more you will pay.<\/strong> For example, the insurance for children below 18 could cost around \u20ac30 per month. However, for someone above 65 the insurance may cost more than \u20ac500 per month. Additional factors include both gender and pre-existing conditions.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-061ea02 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"061ea02\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-70ce395\" data-id=\"70ce395\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9ae2d5d elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"9ae2d5d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e2165bc elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e2165bc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Good to know<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8037133 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8037133\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4c644fd\" data-id=\"4c644fd\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b65e06f elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"b65e06f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\tAfter your register, your health insurance company will mail you an E-Card that keeps track of your claims, medications, and your medical history.
