Physiotherapists: rates 2024

Here you will find the 2024 fees and reimbursement rates for common services provided by physiotherapists.

The fees and reimbursement rates apply to physiotherapists who have accepted the agreement with the health insurance funds (conventional physiotherapists). Physiotherapists who do not accept the agreement and are therefore non-contracted, determine their fee freely. The reimbursement is lower there.

Some people with a low income are entitled to the increased allowance and will be reimbursed more.

An overview of CM refunds can be found in the 'My refunds' section in your My CM profile and in the My CM app.

You can request information about other services via the contact form or from the local CM consultant.
