Patients and caregivers may be entitled to coverage of travel expenses for training courses at the hospital. The GP or hospital doctor decides whether the patient and caregiver need to be referred for training.
As a general rule, you will receive financial support for your journey at a standard rate per kilometre, regardless of the mode of transport you used. If you are travelling by plane, you must book your trip through Pasientreiser. You must pay a co-payment for the journey unless you have an exemption card. For caregivers, the co-payment is not included in the exemption card scheme.
Separate rates and rules apply to reimbursement of food and accommodation expenses. You must pay any expenses exceeding these rates yourself. You must book your own accommodation.
If you have questions about completing a travel expense claim form, coverage of travel expenses or booking your patient journey, contact Pasientreiser: 05515.
