Who pays what?
Since July 1, 2022, psychological psychotherapy has been covered by compulsory health insurance (AOS), provided it has been prescribed by a doctor and has the status of an illness.
From the 13th session onwards, psychologists-psychotherapists contact the doctors who prescribed the treatment. If the doctors deem it necessary to extend the therapy, a new prescription is issued. Beyond 30 sessions, the approval of a psychiatrist and/or the insurance company's medical advisor is required to continue treatment.
Psychological counselling are partially covered by certain supplementary insurance policies. The amount covered varies considerably depending on the model and the insurance (annual fixed rate, fee per session, etc.). It is therefore essential to enquire prior to treatment.Psychological counselling and coaching sessions are partially covered by certain supplementary insurance policies.
