Hallux Valgus splint: Health insurance subsidizes costs
In the case of acute problems with hallux valgus, it is possible to have a hallux valgus splint paid for by your health insurance and keep the amount you have to pay out of your own pocket to a minimum. You will then only have to pay a total of around 10 euros or 10% of the costs. The basis for this is that you are prescribed the splint by an orthopaedist or family doctor.
What are the requirements for being reimbursed for hallux valgus splint ?
First of all, you need to see your family doctor or an orthopaedic specialist. They will prescribe a suitable method of treatment and a suitable aid. If a hallux valgus splint is prescribed in this way, the costs will be covered by your health insurance. You must then redeem the prescription at a medical supply store within 30 days.
How can I get the hallux valgus splint paid for or subsidized by my health insurance?
It is important that you do not order the splint yourself, but go to a medical supply store. You will receive detailed advice there. Specify here that you would like our Hallufix® Classic splint or the Hallufix® Slim Comfort 2.0 splint - your medical supply retailer will usually have these in stock or order them splint directly from Hallufix® and you will only pay a fraction of the cost that you would pay if you ordered them directly. Both Hallux Valgus splints have an aid number (HMV no. 23.01.01.1001), which was issued after careful quality control by the health insurance companies. The splints can therefore be easily ordered from medical supply stores and are covered by all health insurance companies.
