Why aren't some medications covered by insurance in Germany, and how can you find affordable ones?

In Germany, whether your medication is covered by insurance depends on the color of the prescription your doctor writes. Pink prescriptions indicate medications covered by public health insurance. Green prescriptions are doctor's recommendations and are generally not covered by insurance. Blue prescriptions are typically for those with private insurance or specific circumstances. To find more affordable medications, you can compare prices between different pharmacies or opt for generic versions.
