Reimbursement of costs for treatment in hospitals and rehabilitation facilities for people with statutory accident insurance
Service Description
The statutory accident insurance pays both hospital costs and the costs of rehabilitation facilities.
The hospital or rehabilitation facility settles the costs for your treatment directly with your relevant employers' liability insurance association or accident insurance fund. This applies to both outpatient and inpatient treatment.
Employer's liability insurance associations and accident insurance funds will pay for your inpatient treatment if it is medically necessary. Your treatment can be full or partial inpatient treatment. It includes all services that are necessary for medical care in your case. This may include the following in particular:
- Treatment,
- nursing care,
- provision of medicines, dressings, remedies and aids as well as
- accommodation and meals.
You may suffer damage to your health which, due to its nature or severity, requires special accident medical inpatient treatment. In such cases, you will be treated in special facilities.
Unlike with statutory health insurance, you do not have to pay a co-payment for your treatment.
Process flow
The hospital or rehabilitation facility settles the treatment costs directly with your employer's liability insurance association or accident insurance fund.
If you have incurred costs in connection with the treatment (personal contribution), you can claim these back from the employers' liability insurance association or accident insurance fund responsible for you.
To do this, submit the receipts to your relevant employers' liability insurance association or accident insurance fund online or informally by post.
