Own shares increase: Dentures will soon cost more: How can you save?
Crown or Bridge: From 2027, statutory health insurance patients will have to dig deeper into their pockets, with fixed allowances for dentures decreasing. Taking care of it now therefore pays off. Where else savings potential is waiting.
In Germany, statutory health insurance will cover a smaller share of denture costs from 2027 due to a reduction in fixed allowances. The change means that without a bonus booklet, the insurance will cover 50% of costs, down from 60%, while those with a 10-year booklet will receive 65% coverage, down from 75%. To avoid the reduction, patients should have their treatment plan approved by their insurer this year, even if the treatment takes place in 2027.
Experts advise patients to consider options such as seeking a second opinion, going abroad for treatment, or checking with their insurer for potential cost savings.
