Statutory health insurance companies cover the costs of sterilization if the procedure is medically necessary.
For women: If pregnancy would endanger their health.
For healthy men: If pregnancy is expected to cause serious harm to the woman and the sterilization procedure would be life-threatening for the woman.
In other cases, you bear the costs yourself.
The attending physicians decide in which cases there is a medical indication for sterilization.
You can lodge an appeal against the health insurance company's decision. If the appeal is not upheld, you can take legal action at the competent social court.
