Persons who can obtain a residence permit according to §24 AufentG are entitled to medical assistance within the framework of the Asylum Seekers' Benefits Act.
If you are an asylum seeker you need a health insurance voucher to visit a doctor. ou can get this from the Central Refugee Management Service, which also pays your benefits under the Asylum Seekers' Benefits Act. If you already have a working permit you can use your health insurance card that you get when you become a policy holder at a health insurance company (see question 32).
No matter which illness you have you should first visit a general doctor. If it is necessary the general doctor will give you a referral to a specialist
Before you are making examinations at the doctor you should always ask the „Amt für Teilhabe und Soziales“ or your insurance company if the costs will be covered by them.
