Reimbursement from health insurance

If a psychological condition requiring treatment is present, your public health insurer will usually contribute to the cost of your psychotherapy. A brief medical confirmation is enough for this — your GP can issue it before your second session.

Privately insured? Depending on your plan, a private supplementary insurance may cover part of the therapy cost. It's best to check the exact amount and requirements directly with your insurer.

How reimbursement works

1

Medical confirmation: Before your second session, get a brief confirmation, e.g. from your GP.

2

First 10 sessions: No prior approval is needed for these. You simply submit the invoice, proof of payment and confirmation to your insurer afterwards.

3

Continuing beyond that?: Your therapist will fill out the application for further sessions in good time. You then submit it to your health insurer.

For couples therapy or offerings like self-discovery work, there's usually no subsidy unless a corresponding diagnosis is present.
