Important: German only
Our team speaks German only. If you do not speak German, please bring someone with you who can interpret. Translation apps such as Google Translate cannot be accepted.
A note on email
Since 1 January 2025, Austrian doctors have been prohibited under the Health Telematics Act (Gesundheitstelematikgesetz) from sending sensitive health data by fax. Ordinary email is likewise not permitted for confidential patient data, as it is unencrypted and insecure. We therefore do not reply to emails. You are of course still welcome to write to us.

Request medication you have already been prescribed
Our patients can request medication we have already prescribed as an e-prescription by writing to rezept@lechner.gl.

Services
What we offer
General and family medicine — from preventive check-ups to the long-term care of chronic conditions.
ECG
Electrocardiogram here at the practice. We are glad to print out the results for you. Covered by ÖGK – all other insurers do not cover the cost.
Blood tests & laboratory
Blood counts and laboratory tests. Please come on an empty stomach — blood is taken until 10 am. We go through the results with you in person.
Vaccinations
Almost all vaccinations for adults. Most of them are chargeable, and we do not keep those vaccines in stock. See the free ones →
Driving licence medical
Any time during opening hours, no appointment needed. See the details →
Mother-Child Pass
We carry out the general medical examination for mothers. We do not do gynaecological examinations, nor examinations of children under 5.
These vaccines we do keep in stock – and they are free
- Pneumococcal vaccination – all year round, free of charge
- Influenza vaccination – seasonal, free of charge
- Shingles vaccination – all year round, free of charge; the vaccine is, however, only available in limited quantities
What health insurance does not cover
Some services are not covered by Austrian social insurance and are billed privately – certificates, medical statements and examinations for employers, schools or insurers, for example. The amounts below are the recommended fees of the Tyrolean Medical Chamber (as of January 2026) and are given as a guide.
The fee depends substantially on whether the service follows on from curative treatment, and whether that treatment is paid for by health insurance.
| Confirmation of a visit to the practice, without medical content | up to €10 |
|---|---|
| Statement confirming findings from your treatment | €20 |
| Carer's leave certificate for employers | €20 |

|---|---|
| Vaccination including advice, outside campaigns | €24 |
| Vaccination including advice, as part of a campaign | €20 |
| Adding 1 to 2 vaccinations to the e-vaccination record | €33 |
| Adding 3 or more vaccinations | €46 |
| Adding entries with detailed advice | €59 |
| Medical statement for life insurers | €203.20 |
|---|---|
| Medical information on known history | €56.09 |
| Copies of findings enclosed with that information, flat rate | €10 |
| Influenza, RSV or COVID-19 test, plus the cost of the test kit | €27 |
|---|
These are recommendations of the Medical Chamber, not a fixed price list, and not every service listed is offered at this practice. Detailed clinical examinations with additional findings – aviation medicals or fitness certificates, for instance – are billed under the private fee schedule of the Tyrolean Medical Chamber. The fees for the driving licence medical are set by law. If in doubt, just ask us beforehand.
