Subsidized Prevention Courses: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to get reimbursed for health courses like yoga or stress management through your health insurance.
This scheme allows you to receive money back from your health insurance provider to help cover the costs of various health and wellness classes.
Who it's for
All insured members are eligible to participate in this program.
What you get
You can get a partial refund for the cost of courses focused on physical or mental wellbeing. This includes activities such as yoga, back-strengthening exercises, or stress-management training.
What it costs you
You must pay the full price of the course upfront. To get your money back, you will need to submit a certificate of attendance to your insurance provider to claim your reimbursement.
The catch to know
Not every fitness or wellness class is covered. To be eligible for a refund, the course must be specifically certified by the 'Zentrale Prüfstelle Prävention'. It is best to verify this certification before you pay for the course.
How to apply
- Find a course that is certified by the 'Zentrale Prüfstelle Prävention'.
- Pay the course fee in full.
- Complete the course in full to receive your certificate of attendance.
- Submit your certificate to your health insurance provider to claim your reimbursement.
