Remedies

Treatment with medication alone is not always enough for an illness. In many cases, targeted remedial therapies help to alleviate symptoms, improve mobility or restore independence in everyday life. We support you in this and cover the costs of medically necessary remedies on prescription.

Your advantages

  • Assumption of costs for medically prescribed remedies on a health insurance prescription
  • No additional approval procedure required by us
  • Free choice of a licensed therapist

What are remedies?

Remedies are medical services that are provided personally by specially qualified therapists. They supplement medical treatment in a targeted and individualized manner.

Remedies include

  • Physical therapy (e.g. massages, physiotherapy)
  • Podiatric therapy (e.g. for diabetic foot syndrome)
  • Voice, speech and language therapy
  • occupational therapy
  • Nutritional therapy (for certain illnesses)

Each prescription has a limited period of validity so that therapy can start quickly. Please start treatment within the specified period so as not to jeopardize the effectiveness of the prescription.

How to obtain the benefit

Your doctor will issue you with a prescription for the appropriate remedy.

You select an approved practice of your choice.

With the prescription, you can start treatment immediately - prior approval from us is not required.

Good to know

The law provides for a co-payment for remedies:

  • 10% of the cost of the remedy

  • plus €10 per prescription
