Procedure details

Your employer's liability insurance association or accident insurance fund will cover the costs of medical treatment following an accident at work, commuting accident or a recognized occupational disease.

Remedies are all medically prescribed services that serve a healing purpose or ensure a healing outcome. These may only be provided by appropriately trained persons.

This includes, for example

  • Massages,
  • physiotherapy,
  • other physical therapies,
  • speech and occupational therapy.

Unlike with statutory health insurance, you do not have to pay a co-payment for this.

  • You have had a recognized accident at work or on the way to work.
  • You suffer from a recognized occupational disease.

  • Required Documents
    • Receipts for costs already paid (e.g. the co-payment for physiotherapy)

Always obtain a doctor's prescription before you make use of therapeutic products.

If you have made a co-payment, you can submit the co-payment receipt online or by post.
