Will my transport be reimbursed by mutual health fund/insurance?2015-06-17T17:44:10+02:00

All our invoices may be submitted to your mutual health fund. Depending on the fund there will be either a full or partial reimbursement. Invoices on which the words “remgeld” (patient’s share) cannot be submitted to the mutual health fund, as the amount of the invoice is your own contribution. In other words a sum has already been invoiced directly to the mutual health fund.

Additional reimbursement may sometimes be paid out under a separate insurance plan (e.g. hospitalization, or industrial accident insurance).

How is the number of kilometres determined?2015-06-17T17:46:11+02:00

For the 100/112 service: from the ambulance station (or the point of departure if the ambulance was on the road from a previous call) to the place where its services are needed and then to the hospital and back to the ambulance station (as determined by the Ministry).

For other transport services the number of kilometres depends on the contract with our partners (mutual health fund, hospital, etc.). The standard formula is the number of kilometres when loaded x 2.
