Prescription fee information
What is refundable and what non-refundable?
According to § 139 SGB V, the umbrella organisation of the health insurance scheme prepares a systematically structured directory of auxiliary aids. According to this, all aids are split into different product groups and given an item number, meaning that our products can be categorised as follows:
| Item No. 05.07.02.0004 Prescription fee € 5 - 10 |
Refundable product from a product group which is already approved.
| Item No. 05.04.01.2xxx Prescription fee € 5 - 10 |
Refundable product according to existing quality standards whose product group has not yet been updated.
|
Item No. 23.07.02.2007 |
Refundable product according to existing quality standards which was transferred from PG 05 to PG 23.
| Not covered by health insurance |
Prescribable aid not covered by health insurance.
Please issue a private prescription.
