Insurance Policy

Reconstructive procedures

Reconstructive procedures are covered by your healthcare provider. An additional hospitalisation insurance may cover additional costs that are not covered by a standard healthcare insurance. These additional costs may include surgical fees, the costs of additional medical equipment, the cost of specific surgical materials, transportation costs, costs associated with the hospital admission, costs associated with specific medical acts. It is recommended that every patient informs themselves with their insurance regarding their specific policy.

Surgical treatment of post-operative complications are usually covered by the healthcare provider.

Cosmetic procedures

Cosmetic procedures are not covered by your healthcare provider. With every surgical procedure there is a risk of complication that may require corrective or remedial surgery. Dr. Karl Waked offers a unique Revision Insurance that offers financial assistance in the event of further surgery towards costs incurred including hospital/theatre time and the anaesthetist following a cosmetic procedure. For certain procedures, this additional insurance will be recommended during the consultation. This form of insurance offers you greater peace of mind so that, should any complications occur, further surgery can be completed swiftly and without additional financial burden.

Revision Insurance is available through Dr. Karl Waked, Plastische Chirurgie BV who will be the policyholder. This simplifies the process for you with no need to provide additional information directly to the insurer. You are covered for a period of up to two years post procedure. In the event of a claim, once all necessary information is provided, approval could be made within 48 hours.
