pay rates in Germany

[Mickey Joe]

Are there any physio jobs in Berlin that don't require that you to have fluent German????

Dear Mickey,

I think it is safe to presume that you need to be able to speak the language of the patients you would like to treat.....always....

the pay rates depends on the company and and your level of expertise.
so there are no specific pay rates in a certain country, its just depends on the company or your level of expertise.

To work in Germany I see that one of the things that you need to have is "knowledge about the German healthcare system including billing procedures". Anybody know how you could info on this and more importantly how to prove that you have such knowledge. Is it with a special certificate or what?????

Hi,
like in any other country with a Physio degree/ diploma, this information is part of your curriculum.

Here is a link to the German Ministry of Health page. Heaps of info there:
Bundesministerium für Gesundheit - Ministry

This is a link to a German Physio Forum, the category of billing:
Abrechnung und Heilmittelrichtlinien

Here is the link to THEORG, a software programme, which most of the German Physios appear to use for their billing:
THEORG

Hope this helps,
