Outpatient preventive care: flexible healthcare for your well-being
Our health is our most important asset. The preservation and care of this treasure should therefore be our top priority. The spas and health resorts in Baden-Württemberg in particular offer comprehensive opportunities to organise preventive care holistically and prevent ailments. With an outpatient preventive service, you can do something preventive for your well-being or use this proven health measure to alleviate chronic complaints as a supplementary treatment - because phrases such as ‘I can only go to the doctor when I'm really ill, because the costs won't be covered before then!’ are a mistake.
Requirements and application
The outpatient preventive service is based on a medical prescription issued by your attending physician. This measure is particularly valuable as it is individually tailored to the patient's state of health. The application is submitted to the health insurance company, which decides whether to cover the costs. The legal basis for this is the German Social Code (SGB V), which regulates the legal framework for preventive and rehabilitation measures.
What services are included?
Outpatient care services include various medical and therapeutic treatments, such as physiotherapy, treatments with natural remedies (e.g. therapeutic baths or mud packs) as well as exercise and nutritional counselling. These measures are individually tailored to the patient's state of health and needs. A spa doctor draws up a customised treatment plan that includes both medical examinations and specific treatments. These are then carried out at the spa resort.
Depending on the health insurance fund, a large proportion of the costs of outpatient preventive care services are covered in accordance with Section 23 (2) SGB V: 100% of the costs of the spa doctor and 90% of the costs of spa products. In addition, some health insurance companies offer a daily allowance of up to 16 euros for accommodation and meals. The co-payment is usually 10 euros per prescription and 10 % of the cost of spa treatment products.
Outpatient preventive services in Baden-Württemberg
The spa state of Baden-Württemberg is the leader in Germany when it comes to the number of spas and health resorts that fulfil the highest quality standards. Here you will not only find a first-class health tourism infrastructure, but also qualified, motivated specialist staff in modern clinics and facilities.
These health resorts are characterised by their natural remedies, such as thermal water or mud, and have many years of experience in the implementation of preventive medical measures.
Advantages of the outpatient preventive service
The outpatient preventive service not only helps with the treatment of existing complaints, but also contributes to the long-term maintenance of health. It is particularly suitable for people who suffer from stress-related or chronic illnesses and would like to take advantage of preventative measures. Regular cures can strengthen the immune system, improve general well-being and positively influence the course of illness. Another advantage is the high degree of flexibility offered by outpatient preventive care, as patients can choose their own accommodation or even take their family or partner with them. It doesn't matter whether you book a holiday flat, a hotel room or a pitch.
Overall, outpatient preventive care in Baden-Württemberg offers a sensible and holistic opportunity to do something for your health.
