Health
care.
As soon as your contract starts with Vienna
International School you will be enrolled in
our insurance programme within the social
insurance system.
You will receive an e-card which shows your
social insurance number and date of birth. It
is recommended that you always carry this
card with you. The e-card system is the basis
for an electronic administration system of
Austrian Social Security Institutions. The e-card
serves as the patient’s proof of claim with the
physician (or dentist) and replaces all forms of
the traditional health insurance vouchers of
all social security institutions.
Each person (insured and dependent
relatives), who is entitled for benefits from
the legal health insurance system will receive
such a card. The yearly card fee for 2021 will
be € 12,95 and will be deducted from the
November salary.
Prescription &
dental care.
All medicines prescribed by a doctor will be
subject to a € 6.65 prescription fee that you are
responsible for. As in many other countries, only
some dental treatment is covered under the
health insurance scheme.
All other work needs to be paid for privately.
Obviously, the cost of this depends on the
dentist and the type of treatment needed.
