Apply for cures for mothers and fathers
Medical preventive and rehabilitative cures for mothers and fathers
The compulsory health insurance providers grant insured persons preventive and rehabilitative cures if they are medically necessary. Mothers and fathers whose health is impaired or endangered by a multitude of demands and tasks can take a health cure - alone or with one or more children (mother/father-child cures).
The costs of the cure are covered by the health insurance provider. Your proprietary share amounts to EUR 10.00 per calendar day.
Domestic help during the cure
Insured persons get domestic help if they are unable to run the household due to a preventive or rehabilitative cure and a child under the age of 12 and/or a disabled child dependent on help lives in the household.
Please ask your health insurance provider for further information about the coverage of costs for domestic help.
Preventive cures for privately insured persons
If you have taken out private health insurance, the scope of reimbursement for a preventive medical cure depends on your personal insurance contract. For further information, please contact your insurance provider.
