Does eigenrisico apply to each event separately or is there an annual limit?

We have a similar idea here in Norway. I pay about 20 euro to visit my GP and I pay for drugs. An MRI costs me about 25 euro. But there is a limit of about 200 euro per year. Anything I pay over that will be refunded in the tax settlement for the year and if I have a chronic need for drugs I will be given a frikort to exempt me from paying for them at the pharmacy.

In NL eigenrisico works like you describe (well, actually, it doesn't: after the eigenrisico you don't pay for stuff anymore, the insurance company covers the cost directly and you are not even billed), but is 350 euro, annually
