The importance of natural healing methods in modern medicine: A financial expert explains which services are covered by health insurance.

According to a report by www.presseportal.de,

Naturopathic therapies such as homeopathy, acupuncture and osteopathy are increasingly being used as complementary medicine in conventional medical treatment. Evidence-based naturopathy is becoming more and more accepted and used in renowned clinics and research institutions. However, the current situation means that statutory health insurance companies do not cover the costs of most naturopathic treatments.

Nürnberger Versicherung offers additional outpatient insurance for this purpose, which covers an extensive catalog of services nationwide. Patients can thus take advantage of naturopathic services and be financially relieved in the process. With up to 600 euros per year for various therapies, supplementary insurance can be an important addition to regular insurance coverage.

These developments impact the health insurance market and consumer preferences. The increasing demand for naturopathic treatments could lead to more insurance companies offering similar additional services in order to remain competitive. This could lead to a diversification of the insurance market and provide consumers with more choices.

Additionally, the rising cost of naturopathic treatments may encourage health-conscious consumers to increasingly consider supplemental insurance to offset the financial burden.

Overall, it can be seen that integrative medicine and the increasing demand for naturopathic therapies are influencing the insurance market and consumer behavior with regard to health care. It is possible that statutory health insurance companies will also have to rethink their policy regarding the coverage of alternative medicine in the future in order to meet the increasing needs of patients.
