Coverage and costs

Urgent medical treatment and urgent medical assistance are fully covered by compulsory health insurance and therefore require no additional payments. In addition to these services some others are fully covered by compulsory insurance. Other necessary services are only provided free of charge to a certain percentage, so that for some medical services the difference to the full price has to be paid which depends on individual cases and amounts to from 10 % to 90 % of the value of the medical service or appliance.
