What are the statutory health benefits in Luxembourg?

In Luxembourg, statutory health insurance benefits are managed by the Caisse Nationale de Santé (CNS). These benefits cover a wide range of healthcare services, including:

• Medical care
• Dental care
• Hospital care
• Medications

The insurance benefits reimburse supported employees and their families for the full cost of medical care from preferred providers, subject to employee co-payments.

Statutory eye care benefits are provided under the Centre National de Santé (CNS) system. These benefits mainly include the following:

• Ophthalmology consultations are covered at 80%.
• Reimbursements are available for spectacle frames and lenses. This reimbursement is limited to a certain amount and is typically provided every three years unless there is a significant change in the prescription.
• Contact lenses are also eligible for reimbursement, though specific details on this are less clear.

It is important to note that despite compulsory contributions to the healthcare system, some medical expenses are not covered by the CNS. These expenses must be borne by the patient, and medical services in Luxembourg are known to be costly.
