Having a resident permit for more than a year is what they have been saying from the beginning. I signed up in 2010 when it first was available. I was the first in Mugla I believe. Took forever for everyone to get on the same page, but no pre existing problems, no medical etc. You always have to have a report for ongoing problems and free meds, and it depends on the level of the Dr here if he can get it or if you have to go to the university. My BP report came from Esnaf Cardiologist, and I had to go to Antalaya for the neuropathy because the med is not originally designed for that use. Prof Dr had to sign the report.
that was an amazing experience...15 min wait to see the assistant, 10 minute basic check, and another 10 ot get it signed, then to another partof the hosp for a stamp and I was out in an hour. Awesome! Not so awesome when suddenly it stopped in Oct when they refused pymt. They did NOT however, close my account, so I guess I will pay the back pmts and restart my original policy again. All this stuff was diagnosed here, but God knows if that will make a difference. Not willing to chance it. Will see what Willy says on Monday, but meantime, taking some gold to the jewelers for valuation today. ANd I have been paying 204 just for me. My income, which would give me benefits in the UK, is all I have!¬
