Services and costs:
Consultations are also possible via video consultation and home visit.
Treatment costs:
I run a private practice. Direct billing to statutory health insurance companies is therefore not possible. Fees are based on the German fee schedule for physicians (GOÄ) and are generally covered by your private health insurance or supplementary health insurance.
I am billing the 30-minute treatment session according to the currently valid version of the German Fee Schedule for Physicians (GOÄ), specifically sections 801/806, at a rate of 3.5. Please check your insurance policy to ensure full coverage.
Self-payers:
If you are paying for the treatment yourself, no formalities are necessary for you. The basis for billing is also the German fee schedule for physicians (GOÄ) with the aforementioned multiplier.
You are welcome to contact me in advance by phone, email or via the inquiry form and briefly describe your treatment request.

Differential diagnoses and comorbidities will also be evaluated.

Collection and evaluation of the ADHD test examination/questionnaires, including discussion of findings and precise classification of complaints.

Psychotherapy:
The costs of psychotherapy are generally covered by private health insurance or public service health benefits if there is a corresponding medical indication, provided this is not excluded in the insurance contract. Billing is based on the German fee schedule for physicians (GOÄ). Please clarify with your private health insurance company or public service health benefits office before starting therapy whether and to what extent psychotherapy is covered.
Process:
The initial consultation and the following 5 sessions (trial sessions) are usually reimbursed by your insurance.
If therapy continues, an application for psychotherapy must be submitted to your health insurance provider. Depending on the regulations of your private health insurance, I can prepare this application for you . Once the application is approved, the actual therapy can begin.
The discussions can be conducted in German as well as in English .
Weekly treatment sessions are the goal. I am happy to assist you with any questions or uncertainties .
