Children and young people under the age of 18 with statutory health insurance are exempt from co-payments for prescription medicines, bandages and aids (with the exception of travel costs).

Any additional co-payments and co-payments for health care services or health insurance for foster children in full-time care are generally covered by the public youth welfare organization.

However, not all medical services can be covered. Certain services are not covered by statutory health insurance. This applies in particular to measures that are not medically necessary or are more cosmetic in nature. Such measures are not covered by health insurance.
