Your starting point

Organise continuity of care before moving. Confirm access, coverage and availability with the relevant health service, insurer and clinician.

Routine care should be planned by provider availability, coverage and the full expected cost. Use the steps below to organise a decision, not to infer an official approval, a guaranteed price or a universal deadline.

Work through the decision

Dental, Vision and Other Routine Care — a diagram of the key planning steps
Planning diagram. The same steps are described in the text below.
01

Find suitable professionals

Confirm registration, services, location and communication needs through official or provider channels.

02

Ask about costs

Request the consultation price and what tests, treatment or follow-up may be charged separately.

03

Check coverage

Ask your insurer or relevant service what is included before assuming reimbursement.

Adapt this to your circumstances

Keep citizenship, current residence, household needs and the location of the home separate in your notes. Ask the responsible authority, institution or qualified professional to confirm any requirement that affects your situation. A checklist used by another household may not apply to yours.

Sources and checks
