Germany
Had 3 surgeries (wisedom teeth, nose bone correction and a refilling tooth surgery), an X-Ray, MRI, and i think 4 doctor visits plus all 3 months a psychiatrist to get my adhd medication.
The only thing i had to pay was 50€ for a none concret filling on my tooth, and 30€ for 6 days in hospital.
Hospital food was better than i expected and always heared about.
Had to wait a year for that surgery but the other specialist appointments were really quick in only a few months. Especially the wisdomtooth was in 2 weeks after the call for an appointment
Wait time was only a few minutes.
But had an appointment at a dermitologist and there i waited 3 hours!! Almost walked out. And i wanted was more info about my skin type and laser hair removal.
Everything is covered by the insurance though it needs a huge reforms. There is a two class system and government workers dont pay into it at all but get the Premium benefits. And that the insurance companys are covering less and less with dental now only 1 check up every half year.
Yes i am outrages that only concret to fill holes or build up a tooth is free. Fucking concret!! It is an outrage!
Any idea why your experience and /u/Addlemus ' seem so different? The premium benefits?
The doctor appointment time could be difference in region or just an constantly overrun doctor.
Glasses arent covered, yes, but you can deduct them from tax because you need them.
The ADHD i have no idea what he is on about. Neither me nore my parents had to pay for the therapie sessions or psychiatric stay. It could be he went to privat therapist that only takes selfpaying patients (part of the 2 class system of health care in germany. It sucks hard) not many psychiatrists take "Kassenpatienten".
