You can benefit from rehabilitation in your own home under the National He alth Fund. This information is extremely important for single people and those who cannot reach the clinic due to disability or surgery. Who can apply for a home rehabilitation refund?

In home conditions, rehabilitation includes medical advice and physiotherapy treatments. The referral is issued by a he alth insurance doctor, e.g. a family doctor, specialist in the field of medical rehabilitation, balneology and physical medicine, rheumatology, neurology, orthopedics and traumatology.

The referral requires a note from the doctor that rehabilitation is to take place at the patient's home. When qualifying, the disease and the time elapsed since the onset of the disease are important. The National He alth Fund strictly defines who and for how long can use this form of improvement.

Who can benefit from rehabilitation at home:

  • people with focal brain injuries (after cerebral embolism, hemorrhagic strokes, injuries) up to 12 months from the disease;
  • patients with severe damage to the central and peripheral nervous systems;
  • people with spinal cord injuries up to 12 months after the accident;
  • chronic patients with progressive disease (myopathy, Parkinson's disease, polymyositis, spinal muscular atrophy, brain tumors, MS, collagenosis, chronic extrapyramidal syndromes, rheumatoid arthritis);
  • people after hip and knee replacement (up to 6 months after surgery);
  • patients with leg injuries (up to 6 months after the injury);
  • people in a vegetative / apalic state.

Reimbursement of the National He alth Fund for rehabilitation at home

Using portable devices, he can even perform procedures, e.g. electrostimulation, laser therapy. The patient or his guardian confirms the performance of the procedure with their signature. Home rehabilitation is usually carried out for 4 weeks. The National He alth Fund refunds up to 80 days of therapy per year. For longer rehabilitation you must have a written consent from the head of the NHF branch. A doctor who makes one on behalf of the patientthe request must justify it well …
