  • Detailed description

    Your employer's liability insurance association or accident insurance fund will cover the costs of medical treatment following an accident at work, commuting accident or a recognized occupational disease.

    Remedies are all medically prescribed services that serve a healing purpose or ensure a healing outcome. These may only be provided by appropriately trained persons.

    This includes, for example

    • Massages,
    • physiotherapy,
    • other physical therapies,
    • speech and occupational therapy.

    Unlike with statutory health insurance, you do not have to pay a co-payment for this.

  • Requirements
    • You have had a recognized accident at work or on the way to work.
    • You suffer from a recognized occupational disease.
  • Documents
    • Receipts for costs already paid (e.g. the co-payment for physiotherapy)
  • Fees

    User Charge: (kostenfrei)
    There are no costs.
    Vorkasse: Nein

  • Process

    Always obtain a doctor's prescription before you make use of therapeutic products.

    If you have made a co-payment, you can submit the co-payment receipt online or by post.
