Apply for remedies for persons insured under the statutory accident insurance
Description
Your employers' liability insurance association or accident insurance fund will pay for the provision of remedies after an occupational accident, commuting accident or in the case of 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.
In contrast to the statutory health insurance, you do not have to pay a co-payment for this.
- You have had a recognized accident at work or on the way to work.
- You suffer from a recognized occupational disease.
- Receipts for costs already paid (for example, the co-payment for physiotherapy)
There is no deadline.
Contact an accident insurance institution.
