At your hotel, apartment, or office within 60–120 minutes. Every DoktorAkut physician is fluent in English. International insurance accepted, English invoices issued on the spot. No interpreters, no awkward Google-Translate consultations, no language-triggered misdiagnoses — just clear medical care in the language you actually speak.
international@doktorakut.deMunich is home to more than 150,000 international residents and receives over 8 million visitors per year. The city hosts BMW Group headquarters, Siemens, Allianz, MAN, Linde, and a growing startup ecosystem in Werksviertel and Leopoldstraße. Two major universities (LMU, TU Munich) employ thousands of international researchers and PhDs. Oktoberfest alone brings six million visitors over two weeks. And yet — when a fever arrives at midnight, or a back gives out after a 10-hour meeting, most English-speaking patients face the same obstacle: the language barrier.
DoktorAkut is the house call service built for English-speaking patients in Munich. We serve expats, international business travelers, tourists, diplomats, exchange students, short-term assignments, Airbnb guests, and anyone whose medical vocabulary stops at "Kopfschmerzen". The physician arrives at your address — hotel, rental apartment, serviced apartment, office, coworking space — and handles the entire consultation in English. You describe your symptoms in your own words. The physician explains findings, diagnoses and treatment in language you can follow.
We are not a tourist-medicine concierge, not a telehealth app, not a translation service. We are German-licensed primary-care physicians who happen to be fluent in English — and who understand that good medicine requires shared language.
Not "some" doctors, not "on request" — every single DoktorAkut physician speaks fluent English. Many also speak French, Italian, or Spanish. Clinical vocabulary, informed consent, discharge instructions: all in English.
English invoices with full medical report, ICD-10 diagnosis codes, GOÄ billing items. Directly submittable to Cigna Global, Allianz Worldwide Care, AXA, Aetna International, BUPA Global, GeoBlue, and most other global insurers.
Hotel, private apartment, company office, coworking space, serviced apartment, Airbnb, student housing. All we need is the address and a phone number. Arrival within 60–120 minutes across Munich.
We issue German private prescriptions (Privatrezept) that any Munich pharmacy accepts without translation. For urgent needs outside pharmacy hours, we carry common acute medications and offer courier delivery to your address.
Accept credit card, bank transfer, and cash. On request we issue USD-denominated invoices (converted at daily ECB rate) for US travelers and expats — simplifying reimbursement from US-based insurers.
Civilian clothing, unmarked medical bag, no logos. Important for executives, diplomats, and public figures. Your hotel's bar staff, your coworkers, or your Airbnb host never needs to know why the doctor called.
Your name, address in Munich, symptoms in brief, and a phone number. No insurance pre-authorization required. We operate privately and bill you directly.
You receive a reply in English with the physician's name, estimated arrival time, and a rough cost range. You can stay at your address and rest — no phone triage, no hold music, no German forms.
Full history, physical examination, as needed ECG, ultrasound, blood tests, rapid tests (COVID, flu, strep), IV infusion, prescriptions. Entire consultation in English.
You receive the invoice and a full English medical report with ICD-10 codes before the physician leaves — ready to submit to your travel or international health insurance. Payment by credit card, bank transfer, or cash.
The most common reasons international patients call us in Munich: respiratory infections after long-haul flights, acute jet-lag-exacerbated migraines, gastroenteritis (the "new restaurant, old bacteria" problem), rehydration after Oktoberfest or corporate events, acute back pain after 10-hour business meetings, urinary tract infections in travelers, allergic reactions to unfamiliar foods, sleep disturbance in insomnia, high blood pressure concerns during stressful trips, skin rashes and dermatitis, and travel medicine consultation (vaccination status, malaria prophylaxis handling).
We carry a full mobile medical kit: 12-lead ECG, portable ultrasound, blood-draw sets, rapid antigen tests (SARS-CoV-2, influenza A/B, streptococcus, urinary infection), IV infusion set with common fluids and medications, and a small pharmacy of acute-care medications. For non-stocked medications, we issue a private prescription that any Munich pharmacy accepts, and a courier service can deliver to your address within 2–3 hours.
For international tourists and Airbnb guests: we also handle travel-medicine questions — fever after travel from malaria regions, vaccination status review, post-exposure concerns, altitude medicine (for travelers coming from or returning to high-altitude destinations). Everything documented in English for your home-country records.
We issue invoices in English with a structured medical report, ICD-10 diagnosis codes, and GOÄ billing items (German medical fee schedule). This format is accepted by most major international health and travel insurers. You pay upfront (credit card, bank transfer, or cash) and submit the invoice to your insurer for reimbursement in your home country. Most claims are processed within 2–4 weeks.
Note: we do not bill insurers directly (no direct billing). We provide documentation; you submit and are reimbursed. If your insurer requires pre-authorization, contact them before calling us — we can provide a written estimate for their review.
Billing follows the German medical fee schedule (Gebührenordnung für Ärzte, GOÄ). Entry price is 180 € per house call. Exact total depends on time of day, day of week, and services rendered. Typical ranges: cold/flu without IV ca. 200 €, acute back pain ca. 230 €, gastroenteritis with rehydration IV ca. 300 €, cardiovascular workup with ECG ca. 250 €. A binding written estimate is available before treatment on request.
Payment accepted: credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), bank transfer, cash. On request we issue USD-denominated invoices at daily ECB conversion rate — simplifying reimbursement from US-based insurers. Standard payment term is 14 days from invoice date for bank transfer; credit card charges immediately.

The information on this page does not replace medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. In life-threatening emergencies in Germany, call 112 immediately. For urgent medical needs outside our hours, contact the on-call medical service (statutory) at 116117. DoktorAkut is a private (non-statutory) medical service — statutory health insurance (gesetzliche Krankenversicherung) does not cover private physician house calls; private health insurance and international travel insurance generally do.
Launch: November 2026. We will notify you as soon as DoktorAkut is available for English-speaking house calls in Munich. No marketing list, just the launch notification.
