Practical Information
There are free parking places available along ‘l’Ancienne-Route’ which is just about 2 minutes walk to our building entrance. Along the ‘Route de Colovrex’ there is a parking space called ‘Place de Carantec’. Both are “blue-zone parking” with a maximum duration of 1 hour. The bus stop is only 50 meters from our practice, from both sides.
You’ll find our clinic next to the Portuguese Consulate. In the outer corridor, the Consulate is on one side and you will find us on the other. Disability access is through the Route de Ferney entrance.
First treatment and duration
For your first appointment, please take with you :
- your insurance card
- prescription from your doctor
- all recent medical imaging like MRI or CT scans
In the case of an accident (LAA – ‘Loi Fédérale sur l’Assurance Accidents’), please provide us with the name of the insurance company, the date of the accident and the accident number (provided by your insurer).
For the first treatment, please allow up to 45 minutes. The follow-up sessions will take around 25 to around 40 minutes, depending on your prescription.
Insurance
Our treatments are included in your basic health insurance (LAMal – ‘Loi Fédérale sur l’Assurance-Maladie’) if you have a valid prescription from your doctor. For international insurances, please contact them for the conditions.
Invoicing
The invoices will be sent straight to your health insurer or the accident insurance. Treatments which are not prescribed by a doctor or covered by an international health insurance are invoiced privately.
Cancellation Policy
We ask you to contact us at least 24 hours in advance if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, favouring someone else in need of a treatment. We are forced to invoice you for the missed session if the cancellation falls within the 24-hour deadline.
