Notice. Aids are not budgeted, so they do not burden your physician's budget. Point this out to him/her if such cost concerns are expressed.

The GKV-Spitzenverband first checks whether the device qualifies as an aid or nursing aid. In order to receive an aid number, the applicant must provide evidence of the following points:

• the functional capability
• the security
• the fulfillment of the quality requirements
• as well as - as far as necessary - the medical or nursing benefit

If the following criteria are met, you can apply for free nursing aids for consumption worth up to 40 euros per month in accordance with § 78 Para. 1 in conjunction with § 40 Para. 2 SGB XI:

- There is a recognized care level (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5).
- The person in need of care lives at home, in a shared apartment or in an
assisted living facility and is cared for from there.
- Care at home takes place with the support of private individuals (relatives, neighbors, etc.).

- Feel free to fill out the form directly online via the button apply for großelternbox. You can sign the application digitally right away, so the processing will be accelerated and you will receive your first delivery faster.

- We will be happy to advise you free of charge by phone on 0 800 621 777 2.
After you return the completed form to us, we will forward it to the appropriate care insurance company and, after approval, we will deliver the desired grandparent box to you without delay.

- If you are privately insured, we also require the grandparent box form from you. An application to the private care insurance is not required. After delivery you will receive an invoice from us, which is fully refundable, more about this under point 5.

What many people do not know: Relatives are generally entitled to free nursing aids for their care services, even if they care for the person in need of care together with a nursing service that brings its own nursing aids.

As soon as you have applied for a care degree, you can also apply for the grandparent box. This can happen at the same time. You do not have to wait for confirmation from the care insurance fund.

If the long-term care insurance fund does not approve the application for the reimbursement of long-term care aids, you will not be sent a grandparent box and no costs will be incurred.

Yes, you can easily do this online by entering your customer number. Please take a look at the following link großelternbox ändern.

We are also happy to accept your change requests by phone or e-mail, stating your contact details and the desired grandparent box variant. This way, you can decide each month which variant you would like to receive in the following month.

It's nice that you are already using your legal entitlement. If you would like to cover this with the großelternbox in the future, please cancel your old provider. For the care insurance companies, we need a so-called service provider change form in order to be able to supply you with the grandelternbox. You can find the change form here. Please apply for the großelternbox either via our online form, where you can indicate that there is a change of provider, or feel free to contact us by e-mail or by phone at 0 800 621 777 2. After we have received the großelternbox form, we will take care of everything else for you.

No. Your application is usually approved by the long-term care insurance fund for an unlimited period. In the case of approval for a limited period, the need for nursing care will be reassessed at the end of the approval period. We will be happy to contact you before the end of the time limit in order to reassess the approval.

In principle, however, the following applies: As long as the person in need of care is cared for at home, the entitlement to care aids worth up to 40 euros per month applies. Most long-term care insurance companies approve the grandparents' box for an indefinite period or for at least one year.

You can change your order at any time to adjust the products to your needs. However, once the order is shipped, the change will only take effect for the next delivery in the following month. Cancellation is also possible at any time online, by phone or email. Here, too, we must check whether the shipment has already been made and then discuss the further procedure with you in each individual case.
