This uncertainty of what things cost would kill me. It must be terrible!
We had a baby 2 weeks ago, which included 4 nights in the hospital before and after the birth, a surprise c-section, various specialists, follow ups, consultants and blood tests.
Our total outlay so far is about €30 for the parking at the hospital every day.
We have insurance, but we did not use it for the baby. I need to see a dermatologist next week. Cost will be €300, which I can claim back from my insurance afterwards. I just punch the doctor's name into my insurance portal, and they list the procedures and the amounts I'm covered for each.
If I asked my GP to refer me to a public dermatologist, I would have waited longer for an appt, but I would have only had to worry about parking at the hospital, everything else would be free.
