Insured persons who have reached the age of eighteen and take advantage of a mother/father-child measure pay 10.00 euros per calendar day to the institution that forwards the payments to the health insurance company.

If you have little or no income, you can be exempted from the additional payment on request. Please contact your health insurance company.

Mother/father-child measures can be repeated after four years at the earliest, unless medically necessary.

The health insurance company has to decide quickly on an application for benefits:

• at the latest by the expiry of three weeks after receipt of the application, or
• if an expert opinion, in particular from the Medical Service, is obtained, within five weeks of receipt of the application

• § 41 Fifth Book of the Social Code (SGB V)

If the health insurance company rejects the benefit, you can object to it. If the objection is not remedied, you can take legal action against it before the Social Court.

Please inquire with your health insurance company or your attending physician.
