Visits to the therapist and in-patient treatment are free of charge. You will have to pay for the rest of the services and medicines. But the prices for them are minimal:
- for a visit to a specialized doctor by referral of a therapist – 6 euros
- for laboratory analysis – 1 euro
- for a prescription drug – 1 euro (regardless of its cost)
- for visiting the hospital in case of accidents and emergencies – 10 euros
For paid services, a so-called “ceiling” of prices has been introduced. For most of the users of GESY services, it is 150 euros per year. For low-income pensioners, recipients of the minimum guaranteed income and children under 18, it is 75 euros.
