Hello everyone,
I'm a French student and I'm going to do an internship in Germany for 6 months.
I would like to know what is the cost of a medical consultation and drugs, and how much people are reimbursed by social insurance in Germany.
Thanks

If you are properly insured (which is compulsory in Germany), you will pay nothing for medical consultations, and just a few Euro for each drug prescribed.
Check with your French health insurer whether they can cover your for the period and what the formalities are.
