Zahnarzt: treatment and costs
Iranian nationals insured in Germany should distinguish covered dental treatment from privately charged extras. Before agreeing to fillings beyond standard cover or dentures, ask the dentist and insurer what is covered and what you must pay.
Step by step
- Clarify the proposed treatmentAsk the practice for the covered option and any personal costs; clarify the denture subsidy or private reimbursement with your insurer before committing.
Statutory insurance covers necessary dental treatment within its rules. Choosing a filling beyond the covered treatment can create additional charges; the law requires a written agreement before treatment in these cases. Ask for the covered alternative and a clear explanation before signing.
Dentures have a separate fixed-subsidy system based on the dental finding and standard care. Check-up history can increase the subsidy and hardship rules may help eligible patients. A subsidy does not mean every chosen replacement is paid in full. Private insurance follows the agreed policy, so check reimbursement separately.
