5 Declaration and data privacy
Information on the ability to drive after dental treatment
Please note that your ability to drive may be impaired for up to 24 hours after dental treatment. This can be caused both by the treatment itself and by the influence of injections or other medication.
Declaration of consent for X-ray
I hereby give my consent for any necessary X-ray examinations to be carried out on me as part of the dental treatment. I hereby consent to the iDent dental practice obtaining findings and treatment data (e.g. existing x-rays) from other service providers (e.g. orthodontist / general practitioner) and transmitting findings obtained in the practice to co-treating doctors.
Data protection information and declaration of consent to data processing in accordance with the EU GDPR
We would like to take this opportunity to inform you that personal data is collected and stored in the course of dental treatment in our practice. The collection and storage of the data is necessary for the treatment in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 b) EU GDPR. By signing this page, you expressly consent to the collection and storage of personal data necessary for your treatment. You have the right to revoke this consent at any time, but a revocation is only effective for the future, as documentation of your treatment data is mandatory according to legal regulations. However, once this declaration of consent has been revoked, further treatment is no longer possible. Further information on data protection, which rights you have with regard to data protection or information on the purpose for which our practice collects, stores or forwards data can be obtained from our front desk upon request at any time.
I hereby confirm that I have been informed about the treatment risks of a conduction anaesthesia. It was explained to me in detail what is meant by "conduction anaesthesia" and what treatment risks may arise during surgical and/or conservative/prosthetic treatments if conduction anaesthesia is used in the lower jaw. It was explained to me, among other things, that possible damage to the lingual nerve and/or the mandibular nerve is a very rare risk, but one that cannot be ruled out, which may lead to permanent impairments
(sensory disturbances, pain and discomfort, numbness, loss of taste, etc.).
I am also aware that the anaesthetic can cause allergic reactions. Headaches and slight dizziness may occur. In addition, the ability to react and concentrate may be reduced, which is particularly important to bear in mind when actively participating in road traffic.
I hereby give my explicit consent to the administration of a general anaesthetic in connection with the dental treatment I have requested. I wish to receive adequate pain relief during dental treatment.
Appointments & health insurance card
We are an appointment practice and ask you to cancel appointments that you cannot keep at least 24 hours in advance . Otherwise we will have to charge you a cancellation fee (€100/hour). We also require your health insurance card for every visit to the practice. If we do not receive it 14 days after the treatment, we will have to treat you as a private patient and you will receive an invoice.

6 Invoice and reimbursement
Experience has shown that when it comes to reimbursement of costs by private health insurers, supplementary dental insurers and state aid organisations, discussions about reimbursement occur very frequently.
The reasons for this lie in the difference between the two legal relationships to be taken into account in the context of private treatment, which must be kept strictly separate.
-
On the one hand, there is the legal relationship between the patient and the dentist. On the other hand, there is a second, independent legal relationship between the patient and the reimbursing organisation (private health insurance or subsidy office).
-
In the legal relationship between patient and dentist, the provisions of the scale of fees for dentists and doctors apply without exception to the fee structure. In case of doubt, the dentist shall be guided by the legal opinions of the Federal Chamber or the responsible Dental Association.
-
In the legal relationship between the patient and the cost-reimbursing organisation, however, in addition to the scale of fees for dentists, the provisions of the insurance contract, collective agreement regulations, aid guidelines and, last but not least, the opinion of the cost-reimbursing organisation on the regulatory provisions of the scale of fees also apply. As a result, the cost-reimbursement organisation sometimes makes differing interpretations, demands and sometimes subjective statements when processing invoices and treatment plans, which often contradict the dentists' views on the scale of fees
Invoicing ("billability") and reimbursement ("reimbursability") are two separate legal processes. Therefore, the dentist may not invoice according to the ideas of the reimbursing organisation. The dentist has no influence on the reimbursement of the fees and fee items listed in the dental invoice by private health insurance companies or subsidy offices ("Beihilfestellen").
