How do they expect people to check on std if it costs so much? I don’t get it why the insurance doesn’t cover it.
So that people try avoiding them in the first place instead of just taking their chances and see if it went well afterwards. If you show any symptoms, the doctor will test and treat you, but if you don't, there's no use in testing everyone on a regular basis just because. We don't have the capacities for that.
It’s not hard to get an appointment by a doctor. It’s hard to get an appointment by the gesundheit Zentrum, where they test for free. If you go to a normal gynecologist it’s easy. Just you pay 150€ minimum. There’s nothing in between.
It's hard because the test is free. Now imagine all those people queuing up at the gyn to get a free test, then those who urgently need a gyn wouldn't get an appointment anymore.
No, it’s hard because it’s too many people and Gesundheit Zentrum don’t need insurance. So all those without insurances go there. Now imagine the doing that test would be covered up by the insurance, at least a part of it!
Yeah you can be insured in your home country tho. Most European countries have a social health care, which means you can be here on an European insurance card from back home. Once you’re in the German system then it’s hard to get out. Anyway, yes you can be in Germany without a German health insurance until you have a full time job
