Lengg Clinic

What Lengg Clinic does

Klinik Lengg AG is a private Swiss specialty medical clinic headquartered at Bleulerstrasse 60, 8008 Zürich, operating a dual-center model that combines the Schweizerisches Epilepsie-Zentrum (Swiss Epilepsy Center) and the Zürcher RehaZentrum Lengg (Zurich Rehabilitation Center) under a single legal entity. The clinic provides comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic services for epilepsy, neurological rehabilitation (stroke, brain tumors, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury), and certified sleep medicine, treating over 5,000 patients annually across inpatient and outpatient settings. The Swiss Epilepsy Center traces its institutional origins to a non-profit foundation established in 1886 and is positioned as the largest epilepsy facility in Switzerland.

Clinical and technological capabilities include access to a 7 Tesla MRI scanner through Balgrist Campus collaboration, AI-based morphometric MRI analysis using proprietary artificial neural networks for detecting subtle cortical malformations, intracranial EEG research, laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT), ketogenic diet therapy (classical 4:1 ratio, Modified Atkins, low-glycemic index), neuromodulation (VNS, deep brain stimulation), and robot-assisted rehabilitation using Hocoma and Tyromotion devices. Research is conducted through the Epileptology Research Center and via partnerships with ETH Zürich, University of Zürich, University Hospital Zürich, and international collaborators including Oxford, CHUV/EPFL, and the European Association of Epilepsy Centers. Within the ZEE (Zentrum für Epileptologie und Epilepsiechirurgie) Zürich joint venture, Klinik Lengg delivers pre-surgical epilepsy evaluation and surgery for adults and children.

Revenue is generated primarily through medical services reimbursed under Swiss basic insurance (KVG) and accident/disability insurance (UVG/IV), supplemented by a premium HQuality tier for semi-private and privately insured patients and a dedicated International Patient Services offering (single rooms with lake/Alps views, interpreters, medical limousine, 24/7 caregivers, accommodation for relatives). The clinic's go-to-market is dual: a sales-led motion built on physician referrals supported by direct patient intake, combined with a community-led motion targeting referring physicians through accredited medical symposia, continuing education events, and a professional newsletter. Outpatient treatments are billed per treatment under KVG; some services (neuropsychological driving-fitness assessment, certain ambulatory therapies) are explicitly excluded from basic-insurance coverage, indicating supplementary private or self-pay revenue lines.
