I think I know somehow. I met alike problem and had contacted with insurance company and family docotr.
8.78 euro is the rate that the insurance company can cover for visiting family doctor. Nornally if you are a registed patient of the family docotr, he will only charge you that rate. But if you are not belong to that family doctor ( perhaps including the first time to visit), he will charge you the outsourced patient rate, that is 25 euro, which cannot be covered by insurance. Because a bill with 25 euro will not be paied by insurance company completely, so you got a bill with 8.78 euro to get something be paid. |
