This is because dentists in germany can charge the services rendered quarterly to the state insurance, but they only get paid a flat flee per insured patient by the state insurance. It means doctors effectively cover the diff/take the risk of unhealthy patients until they are covered. So they have to balance with private insurance income.
- rkachowski 4y agoThere are plenty of structural reasons, and the end result is you can't take medical / dental advise at face value in Germany.
- lornemalvo 4y agoThere is no link between getting appointments easier with private insurance and the quality of the medical advice you are getting. I might be wrong, but it feels like you had bad experiences with some doctors and took it personally.
