Costs

Costs and reimbursement

Reimbursable by all private health insurers

At Therapy Lift, all services are billed privately according to the German medical fee schedule (GOÄ).

Your private health insurer may reimburse the costs within the terms of your tariff.
An application may be required.

This billing method is the same as in private practices and clinics and does not involve higher costs.

Example for privately insured clients

For short-term therapy, codes 812 analog and 801 analog are generally billed per session. This results in a cost of €167.58 per session. Additional costs may arise for diagnostics and testing.

Example for self-paying clients

A 50-minute session costs €170.

Your therapist will explain the expected costs to you individually. For privately insured clients, the amount depends on the services provided per session and the selected billing factor; self-payers pay €170 per session. Costs are charged only after the appointment. Your therapist issues an invoice that can be submitted to private health insurance or Beihilfe.

Please ask your insurer about the tariff conditions for psychotherapy reimbursement.
