# Official medical assessment - necessity of a spa treatment (aid)

## Summary

According to the aid regulations, under certain conditions you must have the medical necessity of a spa treatment checked by an official doctor before the start of the treatment.
## Description

Under certain conditions, which are listed in detail in the applicable aid regulations, it is necessary to have the medical necessity of a spa treatment checked by an official doctor before commencing the treatment.

The assessment can be carried out in two ways:

1. By taking a medical history and an examination at the public health department on an examination date set by them  
     
   
   or
2. By analysing a questionnaire submitted by the applicant and a medical justification formulated by the treating doctor.  
     
   
   In this case, the public health officer will, if possible, issue the health certificate based on the file. An examination is unnecessary in many cases, but may be necessary if a final assessment is not possible based solely on the documents submitted.

GSR
## Required Documents

To register:

* completed questionnaire

* Short cover letter with full address, date of birth, telephone or mobile phone number and, if applicable, a time slot that provides information about the applicant's availability.

## Special Considerations

Due to the local responsibility of the health authorities, the official medical examination is only carried out for applicants who are resident in the city of Munich. All others should contact their local health authority.  
  

If possible, the public health officer will prepare the medical report on the basis of the files. However, an examination may be necessary if a final assessment is not possible based solely on the documents submitted.

## Prerequisites

Processing or appointment allocation can **only** take place if all documents are available!

## Fee Range

70 euros for expert opinions based on files  

90 Euro for an expert opinion with an official medical examination

## Processing Time

Approx. 2-4 weeks if the documents are complete and an official medical examination is not required.  

If an official medical examination is required, the processing time is extended by several weeks.
