Individual health services (IGeL)

Individual health services are services that are not reimbursed by the statutory health insurance companies, i.e. the costs must be borne by the patient and are charged according to the German Medical Fee Schedule (GOÄ). Before starting treatment, it is worth obtaining information from your health insurance provider. Some statutory health insurance companies (partially) cover the costs of individual health services.

Services that are not covered by statutory health insurance:

Additional check-ups (U10, U11, J2)

Supplementary vaccinations and travel vaccinations

Amblyopia screening (objective refraction determination, Plusoptix vision test)

Ultrasound of the kidneys at U3

Certificates for school and kindergarten

Sports fitness examinations

Laboratory tests on request
