Registering with a Doctor/Dentist
Many Doctors and Dentists are English speaking, especially in the more commercial areas of Austria. You have a free choice of general practitioner, paediatrician and several specialists within your area, providing your choice does not bring the doctor's/dentist's list above the maximum patients permitted. For an English speaking Doctor, ask around - other Brits in the neighbourhood can help as well as many of the locals.
Health care in Austria is always handled via insurance companies .
Although when intitially moving to Austria you are able to use your European Health Insurance Card, it's advisable to set up private health insurance as early as possible. If you already have a job find out if health insurance is included in your contract.
