People in Austria wait less time for an MRT today. An MRT is a test with a big machine. The machine makes pictures of the body. In the year 2025, people wait 28 days. In the year 2026, people wait only 20 days.
A new study from the Sozial-Versicherung shows this. But the wait time depends on the home place. People in Burgenland wait the longest time. The wait time is 38 days there. In Vorarlberg and Ober-Österreich, the wait time is over 30 days.
People in Wien or Steiermark get help faster. The wait time is only 10 to 15 days there. People who pay for the test wait almost zero time. Private dates happen after 5 days. A private date costs 335 Euro on average.
The Sozial-Versicherung wants to make wait times shorter. More bookings will happen on the internet. From the year 2027, E-Zuweisungen will exist too. These are digital notes from the doctor. This will make all things faster.
