The e-prescription: digital via app

Since 2024 the e-prescription is standard: the doctor writes it digitally, you get a QR code in the app (eRezept-App by Gematik) or on paper. The pharmacy scans — you have your med. Advantages: can’t be lost, app reminds of deadline, send from home. Drawbacks: needs eGK + app + signup.

• ●Install eRezept app + link eGK early — harder when rushed
• ●E-prescription valid 28 days too — digital doesn’t extend
• ●Paper+QR still works: without the app just ask for printout
