Nutrition

Gluten-free and special food, group guidance for obesity and eating disorders or nutritional and diet advice. When it comes to food, you can get a refund at CM for various reasons.

Gluten-free and special food

Some patients are entitled to 38 euros per month as reimbursement for the costs of gluten-free or special nutrition.

What should you do?

If the advising doctor agrees, you will receive the refund automatically.

Group guidance for obesity and eating disorders

For group guidance for obesity (overweight) or eating disorders (bulimia, anorexia, binge-eating, pica, rumination disorder, etc.) you will receive a one-time reimbursement of half the cost, with a maximum of 250 euros. CM members with increased compensation receive a one-off reimbursement of 75 percent of the cost price, with a maximum of 300 euros.

The refund is split into two parts:

  • You will receive the first part after the start
  • the second after termination of the guidance.

Important : this CM benefit is separate from the co-payment.

What should you do?

You don't have to do anything yourself. Your data is exchanged directly between the center or hospital and CM. The refund will be automatically transferred to your account.
