Hungary is a member of the European Union, thus the EU’s health insurance companies also accept the invoice from the treatments carried out in Hungary, as if you performed your dental treatment at your home. In Germany the health insurance companies require a treatment plan before starting the treatment which must be submitted to the insurance company. The total amount of the treatment has to be paid in our surgery! After the submission of invoice the insurance company will pay the financed amount.
