When you incur high medical care costs

Your copayment for medical care costs is capped. If your copayment calculated based on certain standards exceeds the maximum, the excess amount will be paid as "High-Cost Medical Care Benefits".
The Society calculates these automatically and pays them together with its own additional benefits (patient cost-sharing reimbursement), so there is no need to apply for them. They are calculated based on the rezepts (medical cost details) sent from hospitals to the Health Insurance Society and paid three or more months after the month of examination or treatment.
