Physiotherapy

70% of physiotherapy prescribed by a doctor is reimbursed. A maximum of 12 treatment sessions are reimbursed per calendar year. 

A doctor's prescription for physiotherapy must be obtained before the event entitling to compensation. The treatment prescribed by a doctor must be started within one month from the date of the prescription. A doctor's prescription is valid for one year.

From 1 May 2025, you will receive Kela reimbursement (€15) for 4 physiotherapy visits in a year without a doctor's referral. Please note that you will still need a doctor's prescription for reimbursement from the sickness insurance fund.

To receive compensation, send the forms mentioned below to the sickness fund:

• Doctor’s prescription for physiotherapy

• Payment receipt that indicates your name, the treatment provided, the sum, the date and the treatment provider.
