Who is entitled to
Specialized outpatient
Palliative care?

Since 2007, both those with statutory and private health insurance have been entitled to SAPV if they suffer from an incurable, advanced illness with a limited life expectancy and require particularly complex care.

We advise those with private health insurance to discuss the assumption of costs with their insurance company in advance.
