Rehabilitation in Bad Griesbach

Important questions & answers

... about your rehabilitation hotel in Bad Griesbach

• What is the difference between rehabilitation and a spa treatment?

  • An ambulatory spa treatment is designed to strengthen health, prevent illness, or support recovery. It takes place in state-recognized spa towns or health resorts (e.g., Bad Griesbach Therme).
  • The spa location is chosen freely, and an application with the health insurance is required in advance.
  • This differs from rehabilitation, where the clinic is typically chosen by the insurance, and prior approval is not necessary.

• What costs are covered by health insurance, and what do I have to pay?

  • Covered by health insurance:
    • 100% of the spa doctor’s fees.
    • Health-promoting measures (e.g., exercise, relaxation, nutrition).
    • 90% of the cost of therapeutic treatments prescribed by the spa doctor.
    • Lodging subsidy up to €16 per day.
  • Out-of-pocket costs:
    • Remaining accommodation costs.
    • 10% of therapeutic treatment costs (unless exempt – proof required upon arrival).

• How long does a rehabilitation stay in Bad Griesbach last?

  • Health insurance typically approves spa treatments lasting between 14 and 21 days.

• How often can I apply for an ambulatory spa treatment?

  • You can apply for a spa treatment every three years in recognized spa towns (e.g., Bad Griesbach).
  • For existing conditions, you can apply annually.

• What are the requirements for applying for an ambulatory spa treatment?

  • A spa treatment application must be submitted in advance.
  • It's recommended to consult your attending doctor before booking your spa holiday.
  • The doctor should provide a detailed justification for the necessity of the treatment, which should be included in the application.

• Can I stay overnight if the rehabilitation is outpatient?

  • Health insurance primarily covers ambulatory costs (doctor’s treatment, health-promoting measures, therapeutic treatments).
  • In theory, you could spend evenings and weekends at home, but this is often impractical due to health reasons or long travel distances.
  • Health insurance may provide a lodge subsidy up to €16 per day. Clarify this with your health insurance provider in advance.
