Geriatric rehabilitation care
Reimbursement
The object of geriatric rehabilitation care is to reduce functional limitations in order to enable you to return to the home situation.
When will you qualify for reimbursement?
You will qualify for reimbursement for geriatric rehabilitation care only if the care doesn't follow a stay in a nursing home as covered by the Long-Term Care Act (Wlz).
The duration of care may not exceed 6 months. If you need more than 6 months of geriatric rehabilitation, you will require our written permission. This permission will need to be requested before the first 6 months have expired.
Referral needed?
For geriatric rehabilitation care, you need a referral from a medical specialist or a specialist geriatrician.
