Modern long-term ECG diagnostics with myritmo offers a future-shaping solution for outpatient cardiology care.
Thanks to the hybrid examination model, you can efficiently treat both publicly and privately insured patients while working economically.
Privately insurances
For privately insured patients
Billing to private health insurers is based on a 48-hour long-term ECG, which can be invoiced over two days according to the GOÄ in two steps:
-
Day 1 : Handover of the myritmo monitor in the practice and start of recording – billing under code 659 GOÄand analogously 636 GOÄ
-
Day 2: Continuation and completion of the recording, return of the device – billing again under the same codes.
To ensure reimbursement by private insurers, a follow-up call after 24 hours is recommended. A guided review of the device usage not only improves data quality but also meets formal requirements for documentation and medical supervision.
Billing usually follows an individual rate of increase based on the private insurer’s tariff. While the basic rate is often reimbursed at 1.0–1.2 times, premium tariffs can allow for up to 2.5 times the rate. In cases of limited reimbursement, patients may be charged a private copayment – this requires individual clarification.
For Statutory Health Insurance Patients
For patients with statutory health insurance (GKV), the examination can be offered within the framework of existing care models. A balanced patient mix of GKV and PKV patients creates a financially positive outcome for your practice.
