Insurance Reimbursement and Service Costs

Germany

Psychotherapy costs are based on the Gebührenordnung für Psychotherapeuten (GOP) with a factor of 3.0.

Psychotherapy services are usually covered in full or in part by private health insurance companies. Privately insured individuals are generally entitled to 5 trial sessions. During these initial treatment sessions, we are able to assess if I am a good fit to provide treatment. If, after these trial sessions, we decide to continue working together then we would discuss the probable frequency and duration of treatment.

It is always recommended to confirm your health insurance coverage for psychotherapy directly with your health insurance provider. For individuals with American health insurance, this form of insurance generally functions similarly to German private insurance whereby you would be reimbursed for your health related expenses but this should also be confirmed before starting treatment.

For Individuals with Statutory German Health Insurance

German public health insurance does not typically reimburse for my services. In exceptional circumstances (for example: long wait times for a psychotherapist), public health insurance companies may pay for psychological treatment from a private practice psychologist. Clients are responsible to contact their health insurance company to clarify their coverage for my services.

Psychological Evaluation

Psychological evaluations are currently only offered in-person in Frankfurt am Main. The price for these evaluations depend on patient specific factors as these influence the total time required. Contact me to discuss anticipated costs and scheduling availability.

Cancellation Policy

All services can be rescheduled or cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours before the scheduled time. Cancellations occurring within 24 hours of the appointment will be charged full price.
