Most physiotherapy treatments are reimbursed from the supplementary insurance policies. In some cases, physiotherapy is reimbursed by your basic insurance. The rules are quite complicated. If you have any questions about this, please contact us.
Reimbursement of physiotherapy from the basic insurance for adults
- If you have a condition that is on the list of chronic conditions, physiotherapy will be reimbursed from the basic insurance from the 21st treatment.

When the physiotherapy treatment is reimbursed from the basic insurance, adults first pay the deductible (if that has not already been spent on other care). Please note: if the treatment continues in a subsequent calendar year, you will first have to pay the deductible again. There is no excess for children and young people up to the age of 18.
Reimbursement of physiotherapy from the basic insurance for children/young people up to the age of 18
- Up to the age of 18, the first 18 physiotherapy treatments are reimbursed. If you have supplementary insurance, the insurer will reimburse from the supplementary package from the 19th treatment.
- Up to the age of 18, physiotherapy for conditions on the list of chronic conditions for physiotherapy is fully reimbursed.
- Psychosomatic physiotherapy for children and/or adolescents up to the age of 18 is not reimbursed from the basic package. This is reimbursed from the supplementary package of the parent, the physiotherapy reimbursements of the parent are not lost because of this.
