Osteopathy reimbursement: how does it work?
Most health funds refund part of your osteopathy session through the supplementary insurance, as a guide roughly 10 euro per session for a limited number of sessions per year. After your visit we provide you with a certificate that you use to claim the reimbursement. The exact amount depends on your health fund and package.
