Hello

I know that covid tests are covered by the basic health insurance (in case of symptoms etc...) but what about covid induced effects ?

I was never diagnosed for covid (i did one pcr test in february) but I had mild symptoms in December (mild, so i did not get tested which was a mistake).

I had lost partly my sense of smell and now I have olfactory hallucinations.
Will the insurance take care of diagnosis and eventual treatment or it's just out of my pocket ?
Thanks

I assume you'll have to pay your franchise part, but other than that they will cover you as with any normal illness.

although medically speaking, there are probably no cure or solution.

On a related note, a 20Min article from back in January raised the question of whether having COVID long haul - or even having had COVID and thus potential for long haul symptoms, might be an exclusion for supplementary insurance. The article is here, see the bit headed 'Health Insurance Threat:

The article only floated a possibility. But do any of you know if insurance companies are actually using, or plan to use, COVID as a factor in deciding on eligibility for supplemenatary insurance? Anyone been affected by this?
