Reimbursement

What will health insurance reimburse?

Statutory health insurance

Many statutory health insurers in Germany offer a contribution towards osteopathy as a voluntary benefit. The amount, number of treatments and eligibility requirements vary between insurers.

Private health insurance

Whether and to what extent services provided by a Heilpraktiker are reimbursed depends on the insurance plan. Deductibles and reimbursement limits may also apply.

German Beihilfe scheme

Reimbursement under the German Beihilfe scheme depends on the applicable rules and recognised invoice items. Please clarify the details with your responsible German Beihilfe scheme office in advance.

Please note: Reimbursement cannot be guaranteed. Some insurers require a medical recommendation or prescription before treatment begins. The following resource provides current guidance: the VOD list of health insurers; only information provided by your own insurer is binding.

Invoicing

Invoice and payment

The invoice is prepared with reference to the German fee schedule for Heilpraktiker (GebüH). The GebüH is not an official or binding fee schedule; it serves as a guide for invoicing and possible reimbursement.

Payment is due after treatment. You can pay at the practice by girocard/EC card and will receive an invoice to submit to your health insurer.
