Why do I need a mutuality document for my reimbursement of glasses and lenses?

Read more on why we need an extra mutuality document for glasses & lenses

In order for us to calculate the reimbursement for your glasses or lenses, we need an overview of reimbursements from your mutuality. Here is why. 👇

Your mutuality often offers a reimbursement for the purchase of glasses or lenses through their so-called 'mutuality advantages'.

What's a mutuality advantage? 💡

Mutuality advantages are additional benefits or reimbursements that you receive from your mutuality, beyond their legal health insurance reimbursements.
​
​So even if you didn't explicitly ask for an extra insurance with them, you'll still receive these advantages, simply for being affiliated with them. Cool, right? 🚀

👉 This is why we need a reimbursement overview of your mutuality.

In case you haven't requested a reimbursement from them, we highly suggest you to do this. We reimburse 80% of the amount that remains after intervention of the mutuality. Your total out-of-pocket costs will be lower if you request both reimbursements.

You're only one step away from getting more money back. 💸

What do you need to do?

1️⃣ In case your mutuality offers this mutuality advantage:

  • Send your invoice to your mutuality & wait for their reimbursement.

  • Download the reimbursement overview from the online portal of your mutuality.

2️⃣ In case your mutuality does not offer this mutuality advantage:

  • Contact them to request a letter of refusal.

... after that, you can upload it inside your Alan app and we will proceed with your reimbursement request as soon as possible. 📱

Thank you for this extra effort!

"My mutuality only reimburses these advantages, every two years"

👉 In this case, you can send us proof of the most recent reimbursement for glasses or lenses you have received from them. 💌
