Excess

The statutory excess applies to care covered by basic health insurance. This excess also applies to occupational therapy. For 2026, the statutory excess has been set at a minimum of 385 euros.

Supplementary health insurance often covers a number of extra treatment hours per calendar year. The number of hours varies depending on the insurer and the supplementary package. For example, this could be 2, 5 or 10 extra hours.

Amount of your reimbursement

The amount of the supplementary allowance varies depending on the health insurer:

• Some insurers operate with a maximum number of treatment hours;
• Some insurers operate with an annual maximum amount.

Excess and personal contribution

When claiming reimbursement under supplementary insurance, it is advisable to bear the following in mind:

• No excess applies to reimbursements under supplementary insurance;
• There is no statutory personal contribution for occupational therapy;
• Are the costs higher than the amount or the number of hours covered by your insurance? If so, you will have to pay the remaining amount yourself.
