School and daycare certificates

Dear Parents,

You have probably already heard that sickness certificates for daycare and school as well as health certificates are now subject to a fee (5 €).

Law against unfair competition prohibits discounts

Doctors are also not allowed to offer discounts and special offers, which are undoubtedly very popular with customers. For example, a dentist who offered professional teeth cleaning with discounts of up to 70% was warned. doctors and dentists are not allowed to set their fees freely, but must stay within the respective fee schedules. This is to protect patients from excessive fees and to guarantee the doctor's basic income. In order to ensure the consistent quality of medical services, discounts or flat rates are not provided for.
