Waiting for 60 weeks for your intervertebral disk operation or pay 5600 euros for the intervention as a private patient: before this decision a 46-year-old bank employee from Upper Austria was mentioned.
The intervertebral disk, the pain is huge: every day was a pain for a 46-year-old bank employee. “I had to spend a total of 405 days on sick leave, that was not funny. My employer did not end me and I always motivated me not to give up,” she says.
60 weeks of operating time
Only one intervertebral disk editing promised repayment due to the pain. The problem: according to the upper Austria of the Chamber of Labor (AK), the woman should have waited for 60 weeks, more than a year. This was excluded for the employee, so she had carried out the intervention in a Linz hospital as a private patient-de 46-year-old paid 5,600 euros from her own pocket.
“Health cannot depend on income”
“I have deposited the system for many years. I have not received anything from the Austrian health insurance fund,” says the 46-year-old. The bank employee turned to the AK Oö. There you know the problem of the long surgical maintenance times-de “Kroon” also reported several times. AK -President Andreas Stangl: “A lot goes wrong here. Health should not depend on income.”
