Rehabilitation care

Statutory personal contribution

You will not be subject to a statutory personal contribution for rehabilitation care.

Excess

Are you older than 18? The costs incurred for rehabilitation care will count towards your compulsory policy excess.

Who qualifies for reimbursement?

You will qualify for a reimbursement for rehabilitation care if you need the care to avoid, reduce or overcome a disability. The disability must be a result of disorders or restrictions in the locomotor apparatus or a disorder of the central nerve system that leads to restrictions in communication, intellect or behaviour.

Referral needed?

You will require a referral from a medical practitioner, a medical specialist, paediatrician, a sports doctor, intellectual disability physician, geriatrician, a clinical technologist or an occupational physician.

Who may provide this type of care?

Hospitals and rehabilitation centres may provide this type of care. The care must be provided under the final responsibility of a rehabilitation specialist (ultimately responsible). Use our Care finder to find a hospital or rehabilitation care near you.

In the event of rehabilitation care provided by a non-contracted care provider, you need our written authorisation before receiving the care. When applying for care you will need to send us a copy of a report from the attending physician with the medical diagnosis/diagnoses, a description of the current problem and the proposed treatment plan (care activities).
