    Netherlands here, I call, have an appointment the same or next day, insurance covers all costs.

    If they proscribe meds, I pay a part up until a maximum of 385 euros per year (called “own risk”) , anything above that is covered as well.

    I’m also covered for physiotherapy (18 sessions without “own risk”), psychological therapy, dentistry and a variety of alternative medicine!

    I pay a pretty hefty premium, like 170 euros a month, but that’s because I have the lowest “own risk” and I blow through that in the first month or 3 with my rickety ass body 😂

    Definitely beats footing the bill completely, I’ve seen what dentistry costs 😱
