Are gynecologist services covered with health insurance in Luxembourg

Almost all residents of Luxembourg are covered by Caisse Nationale de Santé (CNS) insurance system. The CNS provides basic health coverage, such as doctor visits, hospital stays, prescribed medication, and dental and vision care.

The CNS covers the cost of gynecologist visits, including consultations, examinations, and treatments. The amount of coverage depends on the type of service and the provider.

For example, the CNS covers 100% of the cost of consultations and 88% of the cost of examinations and treatments with a gynecologist who is a member of the CNS network. If you see a gynecologist who is not a member of the CNS network, you will be responsible for paying the full cost of the visit.

How to find a good gynecologist in Luxembourg

As it was said earlier if you have CNS insurance, it’s better to choose a specialist who is a member of the CNS network. Except in case of emergency, you are free to choose any health care provider you want. You can also consult a specialist without a transfer/prescription from a general practitioner.

What kind of help a gynecologist can provide in Luxembourg

Gynecologists can provide different kinds of services surrounding women's healthcare. And if routine care services can be provided by most doctors, when it comes to some urgent care or more complex procedures or diagnosis, you will need to pay attention to the qualifications of the professional you choose.

Visiting a gynecologist in Luxembourg

To make an appointment with a gynecologist in Luxembourg, follow these steps:

1. Find CNS-accredited gynecologists practicing in Luxembourg

   You can use Doctena Luxembourg or Editus to find a doctor and you should contact CNS to check if they are accredited.

2. Check if your health insurance covers gynecologist visits and if your private insurer has a list of preferred providers

   This will narrow down your choices and provide coverage for your appointment.

3. Call the clinic or office after you have chosen a gynecologist

   Find out about availability and any specific requirements for new patients. Or check availability and book an appointment using the Doctena Luxembourg website.

4. Provide all necessary information when making an appointment

   Usually, you have to provide your full name, phone number, and date of birth, and they may also ask for information about your problem and/or medical history. This information will help the gynecologist better understand what your problem is and how to conduct the first exam.

5. Make sure your visit is covered by insurance

   Ask the clinic or office staff if they accept your insurance plan. Ask about any extra charges.

6. Find out what documents you need to provide for your first visit

   You will need a CNS card and passport, your health record if you have one and your medication list if you are currently prescribed anything. You can also ask if any special preparation is required for your visit.

7. Choose a suitable time: agree on the date and time of your appointment with the clinic staff

   Be sure to confirm the appointment details: date, time, place, name of your specialist, documents you need to take with you and location.

8. Come to the clinic 10-15 minutes early on the appointed day

   Bring all necessary documents, such as your insurance card, ID card, your health record and a list of medications you are currently taking.

The process for making an appointment with a gynecologist may vary slightly from clinic to clinic, so check to see if there are any special requirements.
