Not every nutrition service is an eligible prevention course. Check the offer, course certification and your insurer's rules before booking.
German statutory health insurers may subsidise quality-assured prevention courses. This does not mean that every nutrition consultation, coaching service or professional qualification is automatically eligible. The specific offer is what matters.
What is officially assessed
Before funding is considered, the Central Prevention Testing Unit assesses on behalf of the insurers whether a course meets the quality criteria in the GKV prevention guide. This includes the provider qualification and the suitability of the course concept. Only a successfully assessed offer can be certified as a prevention course.
A professional or continuing-education certificate alone therefore does not prove that a specific commercial coaching service will be subsidised.
Why there is no universal reimbursement amount
The Central Prevention Testing Unit states that the frequency and amount of subsidies are not governed by one uniform rule. Each insurer decides under its own statutes. A percentage or fixed number of courses should never be promised without checking the specific insurer.
Checklist before booking
- Ask for the exact name and identifier of the specific course
- Check whether that exact offer currently holds prevention-course certification
- Ask your insurer in writing about the amount, frequency and participation conditions
- Confirm attendance requirements and the required participation certificate
- Do not book based only on a general reference to section 20 SGB V
Transparency about Dominik's service
This website currently makes no reimbursement promise and does not claim a specific course certification for Dominik's nutrition coaching. Such wording remains unpublished until the evidence for the exact offer has been reviewed and the permitted wording approved. Check possible reimbursement directly with your insurer before booking.
Nutrition coaching does not replace medical diagnosis or treatment. For medical conditions, symptoms or prescribed diets, consult a doctor or an appropriately qualified professional.
