Application for a cure through health insurance or application for a rehabilitation measure
A cure measure through the pension provider has nothing to do with the conventional cure.
- A cure is a recovery measure that you can apply for through the health insurance company, while the pension insurance is talking about a rehabilitation measure. This is used to restore health after an accident, disability, serious illness or chronic illness. The restoration of health is also aimed at maintaining the ability to work. The reduction in earning capacity should be prevented, improved or restored.
- Rehabilitation always comes before a disability pension.
- It is best to see your general practitioner before submitting an application. Your family doctor will be happy to clarify with you whether you can apply for a spa treatment or an application for rehabilitation. This procedure will save you a lot of time and unnecessary effort. Once the question has been resolved, your doctor will help you with the application.
- You can obtain the application documents either from the health insurance company for a cure or from the pension insurance company for a rehabilitation measure.

A rehabilitation measure through the pension insurance
The pension insurance offers its insured members an inpatient and / or an outpatient rehabilitation measure in various spa facilities.
- You will receive the documents for this from your relevant pension insurance company after a consultation. There, the advisor first queries the insurance-relevant prerequisites relatively quickly via the computer.
- If everything is in order, you will receive all the documents for the doctor and yourself home with you. Please hand over the documents for the doctor to your family doctor. He will fill this out carefully and send it to the pension insurance company.
- You fill out all other application documents at home and give them back to the responsible advisor very quickly. The documents of the pension insurance are very extensive. If something is unclear to you when filling out the form, the advisor will be happy to help you with the submission deadline.
- When submitting the spa application to the pension insurance, you can find a suitable spa facility together with the advisor. This preferred facility is noted on the application.
- Depending on the workload, processing can take several weeks. In any case, you will receive the decision of the pension provider in good time before the start of the cure measure. From time to time it happens that the pension insurance rejects the health resort measure and will ask you to send your health insurance application to the health insurance company. Visit your family doctor with the rejection notice and get advice. Your family doctor knows in any case whether an objection makes sense or whether a corresponding application to your health insurance company has a better chance of success.
- As a rule, every insured person can receive a cure measure every four years if necessary. In exceptional cases such as disability or severe chronic illnesses, short waiting times are also possible.
- During your cure measure you pay the statutory one Co-payment, which you will be reimbursed in the event of an exemption from co-payments.
- The travel costs are paid once per route by the pension insurance or Health insurance carried.
Before applying, it is always important to consult your family doctor, the pension provider or the Health insurance.
