You - the patient - have a right to express wishes and decide which rehabilitation clinic to choose. Because COVID-19 is a relatively “new” illness, there are so far only a few rehabilitation clinics specializing in its treatment. So when choosing a place to go for rehabilitation, you should ask your doctor for advice. Your health fund (Krankenkasse) may also be able to advise you and provide information when you are choosing a rehabilitation clinic.

Online databases can give you initial information about where rehabilitation clinics are located and which medical problems they focus on.

An overview of rehabilitation centers run by the national pension authority Deutsche Rentenversicherung and specializing in COVID-19 is available here.

The Federal Rehabilitation Council (BAR) also provides an online database of rehabilitation clinics.
