Home care regulations

What are the requirements for a home care ordinance?

Under certain conditions, you are entitled to home health care under statutory health insurance. As a rule, your health insurance is the payer; in the event of a work/commuting accident or an occupational disease, accident insurance is responsible. In individual cases, the health assistance provided by the social assistance provider covers the costs.

Home health care may be prescribed to you if:
- this avoids hospital treatment (hospital preventative care),
- hospital treatment is shortened (hospital shortening care),
- there is a serious illness or an acute worsening of the disease, e.g. after a hospital stay or outpatient operation (support care)
or‍
- it is necessary to ensure the medical treatment goal, e.g. in the form of wound care or injections (safety care) and no person living in the household can care for and care for you as a patient to the required extent.

A home care ordinance is issued to you if you receive medical care at home and also need nursing care from a qualified nurse.
