Cures for mothers and fathers

Mothers and fathers are entitled to a mother/father-child measure under certain conditions vis-à-vis their health insurance fund.
Basic information
A mother/father-child measure is an inpatient medical treatment for mothers and fathers who have health problems or are at risk due to their family situation. The measure can also be taken by mothers or fathers alone.
The measure is carried out in a facility of the Müttergenesungswerk or a similar facility. You will also live there during the treatment, which is geared to the needs of mothers and fathers based on their individual stress situation.
The facility is selected by your health insurance company, which must, however, take your wishes into account as far as possible.
The mother/father-child measures usually last three weeks, for children under 14 years four to six weeks. They can be repeated at the earliest after a period of four years. If there is a justified medical need, an extension or a renewed benefit can be applied for.
Requirements
The mother/father-child measure must be prescribed by a physician. The application and prescription go to the health insurance company for review and approval and are reviewed by the Medical Service if necessary.
