Persons with statutory health insurance are entitled to medical treatment.

Medical treatment also includes the assistance of other persons if this is prescribed by a doctor.

Legally insured persons can visit any doctor who is licensed to provide contract medical care. These can be, for example, family doctors or specialists in medical care centres, practices or outpatient facilities. In most cases, it makes sense to contact the family doctor first.

• You must be a member of a statutory health insurance company.

As a rule, there are no costs for medical treatment. Your health insurance company will inform you about the statutory co-payments for therapies or medication

The benefits of statutory health insurance are benefits in kind. If your health insurance company refuses to cover costs in individual cases, you can lodge an objection with your health insurance company.
