Doctor‘s visit

Information for refugees from Ukraine

Medical care for refugees from Ukraine is provided in accordance with the Asylum Seekers' Benefits Act. You therefore need a so-called "treatment certificate". You can obtain this from the responsible municipal offices. At present (as of 10.03.2022), however, you first need to register in Lebach at the state reception centre.

In emergencies, treatment can of course also take place without a treatment certificate. As long as you do not have a treatment certificate, we can only issue a private prescription if you need medication.

The ways of your medical treatment are described for you in brief:

1. Before going to a doctor's practice for medical treatment, contact the responsible office of the municipality or the district/regional association. They will issue you with a treatment certificate.

2. You can use this treatment certificate to visit a doctor's practice.
3. If further treatment by a specialist becomes necessary, the attending doctor will issue you with a referral slip.
4. Before further treatment by the specialist, the referral slip must be confirmed by the competent authority of the municipality or the district/regional association or another original treatment slip must be issued.
5. After approval by the authority, you can now visit the specialist.
