Insured persons are entitled to stress testing and occupational therapy if such benefits cannot be provided under the regulations applicable to other social insurance institutions.

Insured persons in the statutory health insurance are entitled to stress testing and occupational therapy if these treatments are not financed by other social insurance providers such as the pension insurance, the employers' liability insurance association or the accident insurance.

Stress testing is a medical rehabilitation service. It is used to determine the patient's ability to cope with the strain of a later vocational training measure or work activity.

Occupational therapy refers to the gradual introduction of patients with mental disorders, physical or mental disabilities to working life.

• In certain cases, the statutory health insurance covers the costs of stress testing and occupational therapy.

The responsibility lies with the health insurance companies.
