The cost estimate may be subject to a fee for you, depending on the amount of work involved. Once again, we ask for your understanding that services free of co-payment are limited to sufficient, appropriate and cost-effective services according to the German Social Security Code (Sozialgesetzbuch).

Please clarify before your treatment which services are covered by your private health insurance or financial assistance. Given the variety of contracts, it is not possible for us to advise on this or negotiate for you. Accordingly, we cannot accept any responsibility for any costs that may not be covered.
