Cost

Overview

This is a private practice, which means I cannot bill my services directly to an insurance company. You will receive an invoice from me in any case. Here I would like to give you an overview of the costs involved and how you can get reimbursed, if applicable.

Billing is based on the German Medical Fee Schedule (GOÄ). Costs depend on the services provided in each individual case and the complexity of the treatment. For complex medical-psychotherapeutic treatment, please expect costs of approximately €200 per treatment hour (50 minutes). For primarily psychiatric treatments (e.g., medication adjustment, which usually takes about 20-30 minutes), costs of approximately €100 will apply.

It's important to me to be able to comprehensively assess your individual problem. Therefore, I allow at least 50 minutes for the initial consultation and utilize additional diagnostic tools (e.g., diagnostic tests). Therefore, according to the German Medical Fee Schedule (GOÄ), the initial consultation costs approximately €300. Please feel free to contact me for a cost estimate .

Please be aware that the diagnostic classification of complex medical conditions that involve extensive questionnaires and interviews (e.g., ADHD) usually requires multiple appointments, which incurs corresponding costs. Neurofeedback treatment is also highly individualized and varies in complexity. Therefore, please contact me directly for treatment costs.

Privately insured and those entitled to benefits

Private health insurance companies usually reimburse you for the treatment costs, depending on your individual insurance conditions, even in full. Especially for psychotherapeutic treatments, I recommend that you find out in advance which services are actually covered by your insurance company (e.g. number of sessions, rate of increase). This means that even if you have to pay the bills in full, it may happen that the insurance company does not reimburse the costs in full and that a certain amount of co-payment is necessary.

Costs for supervision and coaching

Supervision and coaching are not medical treatments and are not billed according to the fee schedule for doctors. The costs incurred depend on the effort/complexity and are agreed with you individually. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!

Self-payers

In this case, the treatment costs are borne by you yourself. You can come to my treatment as a self-payer, even if you have private or statutory health insurance.

As a self-payer, you have the advantage that your health insurance company does not find out about your treatment. There is also no waiting period that occurs when applying for certain treatments with the health insurance company and we can start treatment straight away.

Statutory health insurance holders

The treatment costs are not covered by statutory health insurance, not even partially. However, there are ways you can still receive treatment with me:

Paying directly: see there.
Psychotherapy reimbursement: I have compiled information here to help you apply to your health insurance provider.
About so-called reimbursement of costs (psychiatric treatment) through your statutory health insurance provider: In principle, statutory health insurance providers also offer the possibility of reimbursement of previously paid bills. However, this is usually not fully reimbursed due to discounts, restrictions, and upper limits. This means that you must assume that you will also have to cover the costs yourself. Before starting treatment, please check with your health insurance provider to find out whether and to what extent reimbursement will be possible in your case. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to know which billing codes would apply in your case.
