Will my data be reported if I pay in cash?
The desire for anonymity is understandable
Especially when it comes to sensitive issues such as penis enlargement, many patients want absolute discretion. For this reason, some choose to pay in cash – in the hope of remaining completely anonymous. This wish is understandable and deserves respect. But many people don’t know this: Cash payments are legally reportable in certain cases.
What does the Money Laundering Act say?
According to the German Money Laundering Act (GwG), doctors and clinics are obliged to report cash payments above a certain amount to government agencies. This regulation is intended to prevent illegal cash flows – for example from criminal activities – from being channeled into the regular economic cycle. Reporting is independent of the reason for treatment and only concerns the type and amount of payment.
For patients, this means that even if the medical procedure is completely legal and legitimate, a cash payment above the legal limit can result in personal data being automatically forwarded to the relevant authorities.
UGRS offers a trustworthy alternative
In contrast to many other practices and clinics, the UGRS team has made a special arrangement with the relevant government agencies. This allows cash payments to be made confidentially without automatic reporting – provided that certain conditions are met.
Thanks to this agreement, patients can continue to pay in cash and rest assured that their sensitive data will not be disclosed unnecessarily. The UGRS team attaches great importance to the protection of privacy and provides transparent information on all relevant legal framework conditions.
Trust, discretion and legal security
Anyone interested in a treatment such as penis enlargement should feel safe and well informed. The UGRS team stands for professional expertise, trustworthy advice and a respectful approach to the privacy of its patients. If you have any questions about payment and data protection, you will always receive individual, discreet and legally compliant advice.
