In the event of an insured event, you will receive, among other things, medical benefits if there is no other way to maintain your earning capacity or if there is no other way to avoid the need for care.
After the occurrence of an insured event, the accident insurance institutions have the task of restoring performance by all appropriate means.

Treatment can be provided on an outpatient or inpatient basis.

You will receive all the services that are necessary for the care. These include, for example:

- Medical treatment

-Nursing

- Supply of medicines, bandages, remedies and aids

- Treatment in hospitals and rehabilitation facilities
 

Damage to health that requires special trauma medical treatment is treated in special facilities.

All these services are targeted within the framework of rehabilitation management and coordinated with the treating doctors, physiotherapists and you and accompanied by the rehabilitation manager of the responsible accident insurance institution.

The treatment goal (preservation of earning capacity or avoidance of the need for care) cannot be achieved without medical rehabilitation.
