General information regarding reimbursement of costs for statutory or private health insurance and patients who are entitled to receive allowance

Statutory health insurances

STATIONARY MEASURE FOR REHABILITATION AND PREVENTION*

The Dr. von Weckbecker Clinic is a specialist hospital for prevention and rehabilitation and has a care contract according to § 111 SGB V. People with a statutory health insurance are able to make use of a therapy after obtained approval – if the statutory health insurance is responsible for the rehab measure. In case of approved therapy, the health insurance will be invoiced directly for the necessary medical therapies. The legally defined own share of 10,- € per day will be charged to your debit. The hospital and nursing charges include the room category of House I. If you wish to book a stay in House II, we will charge the surcharge to your debit.

* We must receive written confirmation of cost coverage 14 days before your arrival. Otherwise, you will be billed as a self-paying patient.

BENEFITS

The Dr. von Weckbecker Clinic is entitled to receive allowance according to the regulations of the ordinance for financial assistance, and meets the requirements in accord with § 107 par. 2 SGB V. The granting stations of the different states share costs in different amounts. The clinic is approved according to § 30 of the trade regulation act and is amenable to supervision of the local health authority.
Application for permit must be agreed with the responsible aid office and the confirmation of cost coverage must have arrived in written form 14 days prior to your arrival.

PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCES

Due to the fact that private health insurances consider the Dr. von Weckbecker Clinic as a sanatorium, they only reimburse costs if you have concluded a special tariff with your provider. Medical and diagnostic services are often partly paid. Please also take note of the restrictions of your contract, resp. exclusions of spa towns / therapeutic baths (spa town clause, § 5 (1e) MB / KK). Please make sure that the written confirmation of cost coverage has arrived prior to your arrival.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS BY STATE AID AND PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANIES
If you require an itemised invoice for our services for reimbursement by the benefits office or private health insurance company, we recommend booking your stay at a daily rate.

It is possible that the treatment costs will not be fully reimbursed by the benefits office or your private health insurance company, as not all cost bearers recognise the agreed prices. Please speak to your cost bearer before starting your stay.

These regulations apply to the German healthcare system.

The cost of the stay is not covered by the allowance or private health insurance, but is billed directly to the patient.

TAX DEDUCTIBILITY 

Costs for a stationary or ambulant therapy can be approved as extraordinary expenses in your payroll tax or personal income tax. For further information, you can ask the responsible tax authority.
