Video call with a doctor
A video call is faster and easier than a doctor visit. It’s a good way to get a sick note.
The TeleClinic and Doktor.de apps let you schedule a video call with a doctor. It’s only in German, but some doctors speak English.
This service is free. Your public health insurance pays for it. Your private health insurance reimburses it.
