FAQ
How long is my prescription valid?
Patients covered by statutory health insurance should begin treatment within 28 days of the prescription being issued by the health insurance provider, within 7 days for prescriptions related to employer liability (workplace accidents), and within 3 weeks for Bundeswehr prescriptions. We are obliged to comply with these health insurance fund regulations.
Can I also use prescription massages?
We know that massage relaxes the body, but in most cases of ailments, another therapeutic intervention makes more sense in the long term.
Can I also schedule an appointment by phone?
Yes, during the phone call, please have your prescription ready. You can schedule your first appointment by phone, and then arrange further appointments in person at our location. Before your first treatment, please take 10 minutes to schedule your follow-up visits to ensure the process runs as smoothly as possible. We’ll be happy to confirm your appointment by email.
Of course, all appointments for follow-up prescriptions can also be arranged with us by phone. Please note that the scheduled appointment is binding, and a cancellation fee will be charged if the appointment is missed.
To make a binding reservation for all appointments, we kindly ask you to come to the practice in person after the phone call and finalize the schedule with us. This ensures a regular and consistent appointment sequence.
What documents should I bring with me?
For your first visit to the practice, please bring your health insurance card and the prescription from your doctor. It’s a good idea to also bring any relevant documents, such as surgical reports, X-rays, or MRI scans. These will be digitized at our practice and used solely for documentation and to record our findings. You can rest assured that we are bound by confidentiality.
Please note that we are unable to open digital results provided on CDs.
How long does the treatment take?
That depends on the therapy prescribed by your doctor. A treatment session lasts between 20 and 40 minutes. We will inform you of the exact duration when you schedule your appointment.
Do I have to pay for the treatments?
The abolition of the practice fee in medical offices for patients with statutory health insurance since January 2013 does not affect the co-payment in physiotherapy practices. The payment due based on a prescription for therapeutic treatments is not a “practice fee,” but rather a prescription fee, regulated under Book V of the German Social Code (§ 32 para. 2 in conjunction with § 61 sentence 3 SGB V).
By law, a co-payment of 10% of the invoice amount, plus a prescription fee of €10 (per prescription), must be paid for therapeutic prescriptions. Of course, this will be confirmed. Please note that this amount is not retained by us but is forwarded to the health insurance provider.
Please understand that, for insurance reasons, we can only provide treatments that are specifically prescribed on the prescription (e.g., MT, KG, etc.).
Can I receive treatment without a scheduled appointment?
Treatments are only available by prior appointment, so we kindly ask you to contact us by phone or email to schedule one.
Please understand that, in exceptional cases, there may be a short delay even if you have an appointment at a specific time.
The co-payment is due at your final appointment and is preferably paid in cash. Alternatively, we also accept EC card payments.
Patients who are exempt from co-payments, as well as children and adolescents under the age of 18, are not required to make a co-payment. No additional fees are charged for treatments covered by the Employer’s Liability Insurance Association (BG), the Bundeswehr, or for private prescriptions.
What are the cancellation deadlines?
As a rule, appointments canceled on short notice cannot be reassigned. Therefore, it is important that you cancel your appointment at least 24 hours in advance in urgent cases. Cancellations should be made directly with the appropriate practice. You can contact us by phone, send an email, or leave a message on our voicemail.
If a scheduled appointment is not canceled at least 24 hours in advance, it will be considered as attended, and a cancellation fee of approximately €30 will be charged.
For treatments longer than 20 minutes, this amount may be higher.
From a legal perspective, the claim for a cancellation fee is based on § 615 of the German Civil Code (BGB).
Before your appointment, you will receive an SMS reminder from our system. Please do not reply to it, as unfortunately, replies do not reach us.
How can I obtain an exemption from co-payments?
It is based on the gross household income and is calculated individually.
For more information on how to obtain an exemption from co-payments, please contact your health insurance provider directly.
What are the prices for private patients or self-paying individuals?
Privately insured patients or self-paying individuals who wish to use our treatment services can refer to our price list as a guide and are required to make payment at the start of treatment.
For informational purposes, you will be provided with a fee agreement and the current price list.
Invoices can be paid by EC card, in cash, or via bank transfer.
Does the health insurance provider reimburse the cancellation fee?
The cancellation fee arises solely due to the patient’s responsibility and is therefore not reimbursed by health insurance providers. Of course, it will still be charged to you.
Can I store my towel at the practice?
We kindly ask for your understanding that, due to the high number of patients, we are unable to offer this option.
Can I pay by debit card?
We prefer cash payments, but of course, debit card payments are also accepted.
Can I find parking spaces at your location?
There are many public parking spaces near the practice available free of charge.
Getting here
There is access via Bus 110 nearby.
The S-Bahn lines S41/S42 (Ringbahn) are about 750 meters away.
How should I prepare for the appointment?
We recommend wearing comfortable sportswear and bringing any medical documentation you may have.
