Prostheses replace missing body parts such as arms, legs, hands or feet, and not just visually. Depending on the model, they can also perform certain movements, making everyday life noticeably easier.
Our prostheses are custom-made to fit your individual needs. For special requirements, we take a great deal of care and precision to fabricate special solutions – so you feel completely safe and well cared for.
Passive prostheses are primarily designed to look as natural as possible. They help you feel complete again.
An active or functional prosthesis, on the other hand, can do much more. Thanks to modern technology such as integrated microprocessors, these models enable complex movements, such as grasping objects or climbing stairs.
Choosing the right prosthesis will depend on your individual needs and lifestyle habits. Our experts will be happy to advise you personally.
The costs of a medically necessary prosthesis can generally be covered by your health insurance provider. A doctor’s prescription is required. Depending on your insurance and the type of prosthetic care you need, your health insurance provider will review the submitted documents and decide whether the costs will be covered. Any statutory co-payments or additional costs may not be covered.
Below, we explain the steps involved in applying for coverage, depending on whether you have statutory or private health insurance:
If you are legally insured:
As soon as we have your prescription, we initiate the cost coverage procedure: We prepare a cost estimate for your statutory health insurance provider and request that you cover the costs of your prosthesis. Naturally, we are there to provide you with reliable, personal support throughout the entire process.
If you are privately insured:
Once we receive your prescription, we will send you a cost estimate so that you can apply for coverage of your prosthesis from your private health insurance provider. Please remember to include your doctor’s prescription with your application. Whether the costs are covered, and to what extent, depends on your individual insurance plan.
As a rule, a prosthesis is prescribed following a thorough medical examination. Ideally, the doctor, physiotherapist and O&P professional will work closely to select the appropriate device.
Teamwork is particularly crucial when treating children. After all, optimal therapy results can only be achieved if everyone involved – medical personnel, therapists, parents and patients – pull together.
We are fully committed to this interdisciplinary collaboration.
