Insurance - Refund
Therapies with -166°F (-110°C)
Health pays off
In Austria, cold therapy may be reimbursed by state health insurance funds if it is medically necessary and has been prescribed by a doctor.
However, the exact conditions and requirements for reimbursement vary depending on the insurance provider and individual insurance contract (e.g. SVS, ÖGK, etc.).
In the case of medically indicated causes, the refundability of the treatment costs must be agreed in advance with the respective health insurance company.
Receive a refund
In order to receive reimbursement for cold therapy, customers should first contact their treating doctor and ask them for a medical prescription for cold therapy. You can then submit this prescription to your health insurance company and ask for the costs to be covered.
It is advisable to ask your health insurance company in advance whether cold therapy will be reimbursed in your specific case and what documents you need to submit for reimbursement.
Private health insurance ADDITIONAL INSURANCE
It is important to note that cold therapy may not be reimbursed by health insurance companies in all cases, especially if it is used as an alternative or complementary therapy. In such cases, private supplementary insurance may offer reimbursement.
However, several private health insurance companies cover the costs of effective cold therapy at -166°F (-110°C) air temperature. In the context of rehabilitation programs, customers can enquire in advance about cost coverage with the respective insurance providers, with reference to the effect of cold therapy.
