Requisitioned patient travel
If you are unable to complete your journey alone, for either health- or transport-related reasons, you may be entitled to a requisition for requisitioned patient travel.
You may be entitled to reimbursement for patient travel expenses when you travel to or from treatment which is covered by the public health service.
You will normally be reimbursed for your expenses for patient travel at a fixed amount per kilometre (standard rate), regardless of the form of transport that you use. You will have to pay a user fee for your travel if you do not have an exemption card.
In order to receive a travel allowance, the distance to the treatment centre must exceed ten kilometres each way. The general rule is that the journey must also pass through more than one rate zone.
You can apply after you have completed the journey.
You must send in your application no later than six months after the date of treatment.
To apply for reimbursement for additional expenses such as car ferries, parking and road tolls when you have to travel by car because of your health, you must obtain documentation from the treatment provider. Here, you will find a template for the documentation you need, which your treatment provider can fill in for you.
If you travelled by car because no public transport is available on the route, Pasientreiser will document it for you and you will need to explain this when you apply. If you do not have any documentation to prove that you had to travel by car, you will be reimbursed at a standard rate per kilometre.
