A general practitioner is your first point of contact for most health concerns, whether acute or long-term. They look after your overall health, carry out check-ups, prescribe treatment and, where needed, refer you to a specialist or another health professional.
Consultations are covered by compulsory basic health insurance (LAMal/KVG); under a family doctor model, they are usually the required first point of contact.
