That is of course very bad. My argument was also more related to the population born here or long-term insured. I’ve also never heard of the cost of a telephone consultation. It depends on the personal consultation, but actually I only know costs from the actual treatment and the high costs depend on how long you have been insured (bonus).
I am currently undergoing treatment (top quality with a correspondingly high price) which costs the equivalent of around €10,000, of which my health insurance covers around €5,000. However, I only have to pay the other €5,000 myself because I don’t have any additional dental insurance. Otherwise I wouldn’t have to pay anything myself.
But you also say privately insured, did you mean normal health insurance or supplementary dental insurance?
Either way, I have to agree with you that you’ve unfortunately been left out.
Oh yeah, I suspect I was paying the foreigner tax, but I’m still a little mad, lol. I had a plan with dental included, but they didn’t cover anything except for the first visit, because I didn’t actually receive any treatment for the other billings.
I probably could have made a giant stink about it and either had the bills reduced/dropped by the provider or covered by the insurer, but I was new in the country and didn’t want to cause a fuss if it was in fact normal.
I can understand that. I’ll be honest and say that I wouldn’t know what to do in such a situation at first and would have to find out everything I could.
I had saved up a lot of money for the transition, and it was worth it to me to not have to fight another bureaucratic battle at the time. I honestly considered buying a fax machine because of all the paperwork I had to fill out in the first couple years, which I guess is not that surprising for immigrating to Germany. I began to understand Kafka a lot better, lol.
