How does rehabilitation abroad work?

More and more patients are giving up on the waiting lists and going abroad for treatment. Medical interventions in a foreign hospital or rehabilitation center are nowadays approved by the European Union. Rehabilitation center Medifit has set up a ‘Medical Tourism Program’ to make medical treatment possible for foreign patients.

You will receive a high intensity rehabilitation program (1 on 1). In addition, we provide a very personalized service. Your stay in our rehabilitation center, the professional assistance and the handling of the administrative area will all be carefully arranged with you, in your own language. You do not have to worry about anything else but your health.
So, how does the rehabilitation work at Medifit Rehabilitation center? It is all explained step by step below.

Diagnosis

If you have complaints and need rehabilitation, it is necessary that you first have an (online) intake with our rehabilitation doctor and casemanager. In this intake there will be evaluated if and how we can help you. Also we will evaluate which rehabilitation pathway is indicated for your diagnosis and whether it should be on an outpatient or inpatient basis.

Costs and benefits of rehabilitation in Spain

According to European regulations, all rehabilitation within the EU is reimbursed at the same rate as in your own country. Therefore, if you qualify for rehabilitation treatment in your own country, it is also possible for you to receive your treatment in Spain.

Care

We will assist you with the  administration with your insurance company for a reimburses of the maximum amount possible. Of course, we also handle all further administrative and financial arrangements with you. Once in Spain, you can count on personal assistance from the moment you land until you leave. A transfer between the airport in Spain to the rehabilitation center Medifit is included with the clinical programs.

Your trip to Spain

You fly to Alicante or Valencia. Upon arrival you will be received at the airport by our staff and transported to the rehabilitation center. Rehabilitation centers Medifit is located approximately an hour away from the airports Alicante / Valencia. On the day of departure, we will transport you to the airport for your flight home.

You will be personally accompanied during your whole stay so you feel as comfortable as possible.

Recovery program in Spain

The rehabilitation always begins with investigations by our Medifit Team. After all the evaluations your casemanager will then discuss the treatment plan with you and the therapy team. You will then begin your rehabilitation. During the treatment process, the rehabilitation doctor and your casemanager will have regular evaluations with you to continuously adapt the program to your needs.

“The hospital is immaculate, the Medifit staff are outstanding, and the overall treatment is better than anything I’ve experienced back home.”

Michael arrived in Moraira in a wheelchair and left with only a cane as a (temporary) support when walking. Far better than we had ever hoped for!

From the first moment my wife Esther arrived in Spain until the very end, she received superb care. Both physically and mentally, they worked on Esther's recovery - and with success! We haven't regretted it for a moment and would truly recommend it to everyone!

What an amazing experience it was and it brought me a lot. 8 weeks of rehabilitation both physically and mentally. In the setting of a very nice care hotel, where I really lacked nothing. Where I could relax in addition to the daily exercise and training. A bonus was meeting fellow sufferers. Many beautiful conversations in the evening on the terrace.

You can literally leave your daily worries at home and fully focus on your recovery, both mentally and physically. A wonderful concept and wonderfully kind people! I have a goal again and feel a bit more positive about the future; before this adventure, that was completely absent!

I trained intensively with the therapists for 8 weeks. As a result, I now have much more endurance. I also feel much better. The healthy air at the Costa Blanca has also helped significantly.

Armand , Herzberg

By tailoring the training to my needs and applying a customized approach, I found the rehabilitation to be effective.

Nanda, The Netherlands

Really, what a fantastic rehabilitation center! Just got back 2.5 weeks after hip surgery. What a professional and lovely beautiful people! Highly recommended for anyone who gets "no" aftercare here, I recommend: go to Spain and Medifit ... health insurers reimburse this. Fantastic team!!

Your organization and treatment center is not only distinguished by its medical knowledge, but above all by the dedication and inspiring support of the extremely experienced employees.

Frank Bierlee, Netherlands

On 09/11 I started the 8-week internal COPD Rehabilitation program at MedifitReha here in Spain. This was my last chance, I was no longer happy with this life. Everything due to the consequences of COPD. The gasping for breath, not being able to walk even 5 meters anymore, the lung attacks, and especially the gasping for breath. And it wasn't pleasant for those around me to see me like that either.

Bert, Huizingh

To everyone who contributed to my recovery: for that I am very grateful. The enthusiasm and passion for the profession are bursting forth. Added to that the personal attention and your eye for the circumstances from day to day make me feel I have to leave some friends behind. So hereby special thanks to Ana, José, Maria, Marjolein and to you for your guidance! Should it come to further (medical) treatment/rehabilitation of the deficiencies in my left foot that you have identified, I will certainly do my best to return under the wings of Medifit!

At HCB Medifit, I knew from the first moment that I was in good hands, both literally and figuratively. What wonderful people. There is a lot of knowledge and expertise, but above all, genuine attention and careful coordination. For me, the other great strength of the PCS program lies in the combination of different treatments. What especially helped me in this was that all components were focused on both training and improving the physical aspect (namely the complaints I experience) as well as how I can deal with them.

“The care was unbelievable—no waiting lists, no being left on a trolley, no rushed appointments. The doctors took every precaution, the physio team was fantastic, and the hospital was immaculate. The staff knew me, remembered my case, and treated me like a person, not a number.

Sean,

“One of the best things about getting knee surgery in Spain is the Physio. I started a few days after surgery and had two physio sessions a day for five days. That level of care makes such a difference in recovery, and you’d really struggle to get that anywhere else. The fact that even the physio sessions are fully reimbursed makes it even better. Plus, the team are excellent, and their English is just as good as mine!”

Jego, Netherlands

Medifit, a rehabilitation center where you get the care you need. A great team, Anna, Gerard, Marjolein, Maria, Jef, and Monique. These people give you a boost of positive vitamins. I have made great progress, recommended for anyone who needs care. Thank you! Much love and health to all of you.

I felt very comfortable thanks to the kind and caring therapists. I also stayed in a beautiful apartment where I could relax. These 6 weeks have made me much stronger and more confident.

Ab , Muller

My name is Ab with years of experience with Medifit.
  • First time was October 2015 after knee prosthesis from HCB Benidorm to Benitachell: it was wonderful!
  • Second time January 2018: was for back surgery at HCB and another stay in Benitachell!
  • Third time August 2021 after my wife's long admission to HCB, 2 months rehabilitation in Moraira / Benitachell.
  • Fourth time and hopefully the last time! November 2023 for a hip prosthesis in the new HCB Denia and since November 6th rehabilitating at Hotel Danyia in Denia with Medifit.
In my opinion, the best formula for rehabilitation so far! Amazing help from Ray with transport from the hospital. Nothing seems too much for him, and that's been true all these years (I've known him since 2015). Very kind help from him and the Medifit ladies upon arrival. Everything is considered to make you as comfortable as possible. Being able to get food independently is a huge improvement. Help if needed from Medifit also on-site five days a week. Physical therapy that is very personal and patient, but also experienced - I find it wonderful and professional. To conclude, I think Medifit with this formula (four days admission for hip or knee surgery) and then 3 weeks of rehabilitation in a beautiful location with absolutely everything you need, has succeeded in thinking about the person behind the patient... Bravo... Bravo... Bravo! With my thanks to the amazing team at Medifit, I now conclude and wish all new patients for hip or knee prostheses this wonderful experience, despite the initial discomfort (which is just part of the process). Kind regards, Ab
