Get in touch How expensive is a prosthesis? Costs and reimbursement How much does a prosthesis cost? The cost of a prosthesis depends on several factors. On the one hand, the amputation level is crucial: is it a finger prosthesis, a hand prosthesis or a prosthesis for the entire arm? The more fitted parts are installed in the prosthesis, the higher the price of course. On the other hand, there are different types of prosthesis for each amputation level, the costs of which differ considerably: Cosmetic prostheses Myoelectrically controlled prostheses Self-powered prostheses Hybrid prostheses For a concrete price, it is best to contact us directly – we will be happy to provide you with precise information. What costs does the health insurance fund cover? After a case-by-case examination, it is possible that the health insurance fund will cover the costs incurred for your prosthesis. If you are covered by public health insurance, your health insurance fund first requires a doctor’s prescription and a cost estimate. As soon as we receive your prescription, we will send both documents to the respective health insurance company. Ittakes some time before we get either an approval or a rejection notice. Many wonder whether the health insurance company pays for each prosthesis or only the one with the simplest equipment. As a general rule: after an individual check, the health insurance fund covers the costs for the services that you actually need as a patient. The insurance fund will not cover benefits that are not included in the catalogue of benefits of the respective health insurance fund. If you are a private patient, the scope of the reimbursement of costs is determined individually according to your contractual agreements. For statutory and private insured persons, the following applies: If the health insurance fund refuses the claim for reimbursement, it is possible to take legal action and lodge an objection.
