Mother-Child Health Retreat: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how parents facing burnout or health issues can access a three-week medical rehabilitation stay through health insurance.

This scheme provides a medical rehabilitation stay designed to support the wellbeing of parents and their children.

Who it's for

This program is intended for parents who are currently suffering from health issues or burnout.

What you get

If approved, you receive a medical rehab stay lasting for three weeks. This period is designed to help you recover and manage health challenges in a supported environment.

What it costs you

There is no direct monetary cost mentioned, but you will need to invest time into the application process. You will also need to obtain a formal referral from a doctor to begin.

The catch to know

Do not be discouraged if your initial application is turned down. It is quite common for these requests to be rejected on the first attempt, and many people successfully secure the retreat by filing an appeal.

How to apply

  1. Consult with your doctor to discuss your health needs.
  2. Obtain a formal medical referral.
  3. Submit your application (known locally as a Kurantrag) to your health insurance provider.
  4. Follow up with your insurance provider regarding the status of your request.
