Care
Health
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
2020 will be € 11.70 and will be deducted from the
November salary.
Prescriptions
and Dental Care
All medicines prescribed by a doctor will be subject to a
€ 6.10 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.
