Important advice with regard to tuberculosis in foreign visitors!
Throughout the past years, there has been a sharp increase in Tuberculosis, in particular in eastern European states. Please make sure, in the public interest, to undergo a tuberculosis test prior to your entry into Germany. The test should not be older than three months. It protects you from the risk of a pre-existing infection.
Apart from the health risk, you otherwise also take a high financial risk since no pre-existing medical conditions (prior to entering Germany), including tuberculosis, are covered by the insurance policy.
Benefits based on prior agreement or approval
In some cases, a medical costs projection is a necessary precondition for a 100 % reimbursement of the reimbursable treatment expenses. You must provide us with a medical costs projection prior to the planned treatment in the following cases:

and scintigraphy). - Allergy tests.
