Visiting a doctor
Hallo! I have registered my daughter to kindergarten and they need a document from a peadiatrician that she is healthy and can attend kindergarten. The problem is we have recently arrived in Germany, we are EU citizens and have a valid European Insurance Card but the doctors here can not examine my daughter and give us the specific document because we are not insured in Germany. What can I do now?

Hallo gch86 ,
Thank you for contacting us. Your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) should be valid in Germany. You should go directly to a doctor who has a contract with a German health insurance company. You can find a list of registered doctors here: https://www.kbv.de/html/arztsuche.php. Details of the card you can find on this website: https://ec.europa.eu/social/main.jsp?catId=1021&langId=en&intPageId=1738 You can also talk to the Kindergarden and ask if you can bring them the document from the paediatrician in your home country.
