Foot care

70% of foot care prescribed by a doctor is reimbursed. Foot care covers treatment by a podiatrist who has completed a podiatrist’s vocational degree, the maximum being three treatment sessions per calendar year.

To claim reimbursement, send the doctor’s prescription and the payment receipt that indicates your name, the service purchased, the sum and the treatment provider to the sickness fund. If the aforementioned information is not contained in the payment receipt, request a separate statement.
