Hello Everyone, I recently got a job offer in Austria. I was wondering if the health and dental plans are covered by the employer? I type 1 diabetic so I have an extensive list of medications and I must see a diabetic specialist twice a year. I just don't want to pay for anything out of my pocket money.

Doctors are covered so no charge to you but you do have pay for prescription medication.

Hey sms14

I really do need to check on all of this, I'm not a diabetic so can't be too sure, but as a rule, you pay out of your pocket.

Might take a few hours to find your answer, but please bear with me.

Thank you so much. I will take a look. I came across so many articles and wanted to double check. With dental care, how many times can you clean your teeth in a year? and how much does it cost?
