Assumption of costs
In psychotherapy, there are different cost procedures for statutory health insurance patients, private patients and self-payers. These procedures differ in terms of billing and reimbursement of costs. Below we will introduce you to the different procedures and options. We are also happy to answer any further questions you may have at any time - just contact us.
Statutory health insurance
Carrying out psychotherapy for patients with statutory health insurance requires the consent of your health insurance company. The prerequisite for this consent is the holding of a psychotherapeutic consultation.
For private patients, billing is based on the fee schedule for doctors (GOÄ). The costs for psychotherapy are agreed individually between the therapist and the patient. Private patients must initially bear the costs themselves and can then submit them to their private health insurance company. The reimbursement of costs depends on the individual contractual conditions of the insurance company. In general, the costs for psychotherapy are covered by private health insurance companies or respective institutions after the proper application has been submitted.
Private health insurance
Self paying
Psychotherapy can be started immediately without any formalities. Psychotherapy is not recorded by the health insurance company. This is important, for example, when changing health insurance or taking out occupational disability insurance. We offer self-payers individually agreed rates within the framework of the fee schedule for psychotherapists (GOP). Please contact us for a detailed cost breakdown.
