another twist to sgk?

Once again, I'm no expert but I believe hip replacements are covered under SGK, I know knee replacements are. I'm sure you can arrange private cover to take account of any eventuality, whether you can achieve this for 234 lira per month for a married couple may be another matter.

213tl (£78) a month for husband, wife (and kids) for a medical insurance that includes optical and dental treatment sounds pretty damn good to me   :) (or haven't I read the small print ?)

For us it is the best thing since "sliced bread".

We originally had private health insurance but the costs became prohibitive for us.

The consulate said the price had risen in 2013 to 234 lira ( or that's what I thought I heard him say )

Everything I've read says you take it out within a month of the first anniversary of your residency.
Can you not take it out from day one ?

The 213tl figure came from a Consulate document from Feb 2012 (so out of date) but which also said :-

Members of the Universal Health Insurance Scheme will benefit from the scheme regardless of their nationality according to the Health Procedure Announcement(SUT) as long as their premiums are fully paid.
According to the regulations of the institution’s announcement, eye (spectacle) and dental treatment will be provided.
