Who bears the costs of the U12?

The costs of the U12 are covered by the health insurance companies. In contrast, the services of the U10, U11 and J2 examinations are not covered by all insurance companies, although the Professional Association of Pediatricians and Adolescent Physicians recommended them in 2006. In this case, the respective health insurance companies should be consulted, because more and more of them are also taking over these preventive examinations.

How long does the U12 examination take?

How long the U12 lasts depends largely on how much time the doctor allows himself during the examinations, how much need for conversation there is and how many requests come from the respective young person. The examination also includes a blood sample and a urine sample, which may also take some time. Therefore do not plan too little time for this. At least one hour should be enough time for all of these examinations and discussions.
