Dietary advice

It also includes treatment in the form of dietotherapy aimed at removing, reducing or compensating diseases related to or influenced by diet, such as dieticians generally provide. The care includes conditional dietetic care as referred to on the page on Conditional care.

You are not entitled to dietetic care if you already receive this care within the framework of integrated care or combined lifestyle intervention for the same condition, without an additional need for care based on a separate, specific indication.

When will you qualify for reimbursement?

You will qualify for a reimbursement for dietary advice if you need adapted food or a special diet because of a disorder, for example.

A referral is required for non-contracted care

For dietary advice from a non-contracted dietician, you need a referral from a general practitioner, a medical specialist, a youth doctor, doctor for the mentally disabled, company doctor, dentist, a geriatrics specialist, a nursing specialist, a physician assistant or a directing practitioner in the context of medical care for specific patient groups (GZSP). This does not apply to care provided by a contracted care provider who has successfully completed the Direct Access course.

If a referral is required, you must enclose a copy of the referral when submitting the invoice.
