Physiotherapy and health insurance companies: how contributions work and what is good to know

The topic of health insurance companies and physiotherapy often raises questions. What services are covered by public health insurance, when does the client pay for the care themselves, and is it possible to use any of the preventive contributions?

In this article, we clearly explain how it works and what to focus on.

Does SPINEZIO physiotherapy  cooperate with health insurance companies? 

SPINEZIO physiotherapy is not a contracted workplace of health insurance companies. Our services are paid for by clients themselves and a doctor's recommendation is not necessary for the provision of care with us.

However, this does not mean that clients cannot use any form of support from their health insurance company.

What can insurance companies contribute to as part of prevention?

As part of preventive programs, health insurance companies can contribute to, for example:

  •  physical and sports activities
  •  health or rehabilitation exercises
  •  prevention of musculoskeletal disorders
  •  promotion of a healthy lifestyle

Specific options, contribution amounts, and application methods vary depending on the insurance company and the programs currently offered.

How can clients proceed? 

If a client receives services at SPINEZIO physiotherapy, it is possible to:

  • have an invoice issued for the services provided
  • check with your health insurance company whether the invoice can be used as part of preventive contributions
  • submit an application via your insurance company's website or application

Approval of the contribution is always the responsibility of the specific health insurance company.

What is good to think about?

  •  each insurance company has different conditions
  •  preventive programs may change over time
  •  the contribution is not an automatic entitlement
  •  it is always advisable to check the current information directly with your insurance company

Summary

  •  SPINEZIO physiotherapy is not a contracted workplace of health insurance companies
  •  but some insurance companies offer contributions for prevention, exercise and a healthy lifestyle
  •  based on the invoice issued, clients can apply for a contribution from their insurance company
  •  conditions vary and need to be verified individually
