  further information on document

  In terms of the Federal Ministry of Health:
  Insured persons have to make a co-payment for pharmaceuticals in the amount of 10 percent, at least however 5 Euro and at the most 10 Euro of the pharmacy selling price. However, the co-payment may not exceed the cost of the respective pharmaceutical. Maximum burdens ensure, that sick and disabled people receive medical care in its entirety and are not unreasonably charged by the statutory payments. Pharmaceuticals, whose price does not exceed the value of the co-payment exemption limit, are exempted from the statutory payment according to § 31 Abs. 3 Satz 1 SGB V. The statutory rule has been in force since 1 May 2006.

  further information on document

  In terms of the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians:
  Approximately 90 percent of the citizens of the Federal Republic are secured against disease risks via one of currently 262 (as of 1 July 2005) health insurance funds. The entitlements to benefits are approximately equal for all members and regulated in the Social Security Code. The contributions are determined according to the insured person's share of income that is subject to contributions: The employer pays a certain percentage of the salary on behalf of the employee to the respective health insurance fund and just as high an amount the employer pays directly. Family members are jointly insured free of charge in the statutory health insurance. Members have nothing to do with doctor's bills. They consult a doctor and after that the doctor settles his bill with the so-called Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (regional).
