Individual statements
- The self-pay share, the comparison with the official private income figures and the revenue potential from private services (IGeL) are shown.
- Destatis does not report a self-pay share; for comparison, the calculator gives the income from private billing, private health insurance (PKV) and self-payers combined: in 2024, 14.2 percent in general medicine and 27.1 percent across all practices.
- Patients pay for individual health services (IGeL) themselves because statutory health insurance does not cover them; they are billed under the GOÄ.
