Do you have a child aged 6-12?

The U10 (Primary School Check) is a recommended additional Check-up for children ages 7 to 8 years. The main emphasis of this preventive examination is the identification and therapy initiation of developmental disorders (such as reading-spelling-arithmetic disorders), motor development disorders and behavioral disorders (such as ADHD), which often become apparent after entering school. The costs of this check-up are covered by most health insurance companies. Ask your health insurance or the pediatrician or check the scope of benefits of your health insurance under https://www.krankenkassen.de/gesetzliche-krankenkassen/leistungen-gesetzliche-krankenkassen/geburt-kinder/grundschulcheck-u10/search-16.html.

The observance of precautionary appointments is your responsibility. You will not receive any reminders or requests for the examinations.
