Netherlands here, I call, have an appointment the same or next day, insurance covers all costs.
If they proscribe meds, I pay a part up until a maximum of 385 euros per year (called "own risk") , anything above that is covered as well.
I'm also covered for physiotherapy (18 sessions without "own risk"), psychological therapy, dentistry and a variety of alternative medicine!
I pay a pretty hefty premium, like 170 euros a month, but that's because I have the lowest "own risk" and I blow through that in the first month or 3 with my rickety ass body ๐
Definitely beats footing the bill completely, I've seen what dentistry costs ๐ฑ
Very affordable! 170 euros is less than typical US Obamacare insurance, which isn't top-grade and I don't think includes dentistry.
385 is less than typical Obamacare per MONTH, depending on the state you're in.
My bad, I quoted their yearly "at risk" not their monthly premium. Fixed it.
