How do I read a German treatment and cost plan for tooth replacement?
For people with German statutory health insurance, the Heil- und Kostenplan records findings, standard care, the planned tooth replacement and estimated costs. It forms the basis for the insurer’s subsidy review. The expected personal contribution is explained for the actual plan; it is not a universal price for tooth replacement.

Findings and treatment

Understand the costs
The insurer’s contribution and estimated personal share are considered separately. The chosen restoration should be clearly explained before treatment.

Quick answers

What if something changes during treatment?
Changes to findings, treatment or costs should be explained and documented. Further agreement with the insurer may be necessary.
