How can I get affordable diabetic supplies and insulin as an American ex-pat living in Germany? |
I am 26 and I have Type 1 diabetes. I am not a student, I am not married, and I am a musician, so I do not have the advantage of steady work. I have health insurance in the states, but it does not work in Europe. Due to German laws reagarding work permits, I had to buy cheap European health insurance that does not cover pre-existing conditions (aka diabetes). Currently I am busing supplies and insulin in the states and having it shipped here, but that is very expensive. Any suggestions and/or advice is welcomed! Please help! U really have to find a health insurace in Germany. When you do not have it will be also the same price to got without healt insurance to the doctor (once somebody looked my teeth, and after she said that it coast 34 euro... and she did not do with anything just looked around and I had an insurance!!!!). I think after every visit you have to pay 10 euros, and keep everything (invoice and others) and send to the agency where you have your insurance. But that is not sure. I made it so, but I think every agency has differet methods. |
