Health

Do insurance companies cover the costs of therapy? If so, what types of psychotherapy are covered? What does the process look like, do I have to pay myself and then get back the money or it is automatically taken over?

Is the cost of medication prescribed by my doctor fully covered by my German health insurance (not private)? 

It feels like its' impossible to find a therapist that will accept new patients, let alone finding a good fit. Are there any tricks or techniques to finding a therapist (covered by public health insurance) in Berlin? Or if video therapies are thing, other German cities would also be fine.

I live in kabul Afghanistan i am 16years old i graduated from high school last year.

I have cerebral ataxia (neurology problem) and i have so much problem with living in Afghanistan specially with this terrible disease.

For example i can't go outside of home because people behavior and taliban (Afghanistan government) is so bad and rude because in taliban vision disabilities or disease like disabilities is a punishment of allah(god) because of their parents sins they did. And because of this i can't go outdoor ..i don't have access to medical care because Afghanistan system of health care is very weak or i can't find some medication in Afghanistan and i can't go to foreign countries for treatment because all countries embassies is closed for afghanistan and also we are poor family and can't afford to go outside afghanistan.

So i kindly request to please help me to come out of Afghanistan. And find a cure for my disease 

Please help me ? ? 

Regards

Hi,

One of my community member(a student) was working as a mini job in a restaurant, During work one heater fell from upper shelf and hit her head. She was bleeding and asking for some one to call an ambulance. The Restaurant manager said it is not good for his restaurant reputation if you call ambulance there. She have walk down to the street and then from the street someone helped her and call the ambulance. 

My question is: What legal action can she take against this behavior. 

Thank you

Good day,

I am currently dealing with a complex and sensitive situation that requires professional guidance. I hope you can provide direction, if not assistance.

My father, who is Ukrainian, along with my mother (also Ukrainian), were visiting my brother and sister in Germany, where they live as refugees. My siblings live separately, and my brother's status is uncertain because he initially traveled to Bulgaria with my parents at the start of the war, whereas my sister has been in Germany from the beginning. I reside in the Netherlands.

During their visit, my father suffered a stroke that left him incapacitated, significantly impacting our family, especially my mother. This situation raises several urgent questions for us.

1. Medical expenses: My father's insurance is a Ukrainian traveler's policy covering up to €30,000. We are unsure about the total costs, but anticipate that the medical expenses will greatly exceed this amount. Despite his critical physical condition, there is a potential for rehabilitation, which offers a slight chance of recovery. However, the cost of rehabilitation centers, given his current lack of basic reflexes, will be prohibitively expensive.

My sister suggests that registering him as a refugee might allow us to obtain governmental assistance in Germany. I am skeptical about the feasibility of this approach—why would a government take on such a severely ill individual?

She proposes three possible courses of action:

1. Apply through the city hall in the city where my father is receiving treatment, linking him to my mother.

2. Apply through the city where my brother, a minor, lives since they are his parents.

3. Apply through my sister, who is an adult with clear refugee status.

How feasible are these options? Should we even consider pursuing them?

We have only three weeks before my father is due for rehabilitation, and we're unsure of our next steps. We plan to visit city hall tomorrow to explore our options further.

Thank you for your assistance.
