- The changes in the supply of pharmaceuticals as of January 1, 2004 did not only affect co-payments for prescription drugs. Non-prescription preparations and life-style drugs have had to be paid for in full by patients since then. Children up to the age of 12 and adolescents with developmental disorders up to the age of 18 are exempt from this regulation. There are also exceptions in the treatment of serious illnesses if the OTC preparations are considered standard therapeutic agents, such as ASA or iodide. The so-called lifestyle drugs, such as hair restorers, appetite suppressants, potency-enhancing drugs and drugs to quit smoking, must also be paid for by the patient.
- In addition to co-payments for drugs, patients also pay 10% of the costs for bandages and aids. Only those whose expenses exceed the burden limit of 2% of gross income are exempt. For chronically ill people, the burden limit is 1% of annual gross income.
