Reimbursement of costs for treatment in hospitals and rehabilitation facilities for people with statutory accident insurance

The hospital or rehabilitation facility settles the treatment costs directly with your employer's liability insurance association or accident insurance fund.
If you have incurred costs in connection with the treatment (personal contribution), you can claim these back from the employers' liability insurance association or accident insurance fund responsible for you.

To do this, submit the receipts to your relevant employers' liability insurance association or accident insurance fund online or informally by post.
