Fees

All fees follow statutory guidelines for German mental healthcare professionals. Diagnostic and therapy sessions include at least the following services:

All fees are usually fully reimbursed by civil service health benefits (Beihilfe and Heilfürsorge) and private health insurance. There may be differences depending on the insurer and the insurance plan. It is best to check with your insurer in advance.

As I run a private practice, services cannot be billed to statutory health insurance. You will therefore need to cover the costs yourself. On your own initiative, you may apply for cost reimbursement (Kostenerstattung) with your health insurance fund (Krankenkasse)—provided that a practice that accepts statutory health insurance issues a written recommendation for prompt psychotherapy and you are unable to obtain a therapy slot within a reasonable distance and a waiting time of no more than three months. If your application is approved, you can submit the invoices for reimbursement. For more information, please contact your Krankenkasse directly.
