Abstract

In connection with wars around the Middle East hundreds of thousands of refugees are coming to Germany. There are uncertainties in family medicine which medical services are reasonable and how they are reimbursed. This article gives an overview of the most common origin countries of refugees, which formal state they have, how medical supply is organized, which medical tests and treatments are meaningful and where a family practitioner can quickly find information. © 2016 Deutscher Ärzteverlag GmbH.
