American with medical card moving to Frankfurt

[hquinn71]

Hi,
I have a medical card in America for chronic pain. I am moving to Frankfurt next month and want to obtain a medical card there. Can anyone tell me how easy it is to get a card there? It is VERY easy in the USA. Does anyone know of any Americans with cards getting one in Germany? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

There's no medical card here. You need the prescription of a German doctor.

Hi, I read your comment and am in the same boat. Since it is a bit older did you find what you were looking for? If so can you let me know? I am in Kaiserslautern.
