Costs
You should know what occupational therapy at home costs before you call, not afterwards. Here are my prices for private patients and self-payers around Landau and the Southern Wine Route.
Occupational therapy without a prescription?
Yes, that works. You only need a medical prescription if you want to submit the costs to your health insurance. If you want to use the treatment privately or preventively, no prescription is required – simply let me know.
This is the most common misunderstanding I come across: many people wait months for a doctor's appointment to obtain a prescription, when they could have started right away.
My services are exclusively for private patients and self-payers. The reason is straightforward: billing statutory health insurance in Germany requires your own practice rooms, and I work exclusively on the road.
Treatment prices
| Service | Duration | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Assessment of occupational therapy needs (initial session) | approx. 60 minutes | €74.63 |
| Motor-functional treatment | 45 minutes, of which 30 minutes therapy time | €102.47 |
| Sensorimotor-perceptual treatment | 60 minutes, of which 45 minutes therapy time | €136.64 |
| Cognitive training | 45 minutes, of which at least 30 minutes therapy time | €102.47 |
| Psycho-functional treatment | 75 minutes, of which 60 minutes therapy time | €170.80 |
| Thermal application | in addition to treatment | €15.32 |
All prices are final. As a medical treatment, occupational therapy is exempt from VAT under § 4 no. 14 UStG – nothing is added on top. I am happy to send you the complete price list, including group and parallel treatments.
Home visit and additional items
| Item | When | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Home visit (call-out fee) | per appointment at your home | €49.61 |
| Visit to a care or social facility | per appointment, e.g. in a care home | €32.35 |
| Report transmission fee | on request only | €2.16 |
A worked example
- Motor-functional treatment€102.47
- Home visit (call-out fee)€49.61
- Total per appointment at your home€152.08
I do not charge separate travel costs – the journey is covered by the call-out fee.
Over short distances the call-out fee may be waived – simply ask me about it.
What your insurance reimburses
I would like you to receive the highest possible reimbursement, so that an illness or accident does not become a financial burden as well. What I cannot do is promise you a figure.
Private health insurance
Reimbursement depends on your tariff. Some tariffs cover remedies in full, others only partially or up to a maximum rate. Please clarify this with your insurer before therapy begins – ideally in writing.
Beihilfe (civil servants)
Those entitled to Beihilfe usually submit my invoice together with the medical prescription to their Beihilfe office. Rates differ by employer and federal state.
Statutory health insurance
Direct billing with statutory health insurance is not possible, as a mobile therapist without practice rooms cannot obtain the required approval.
Your invoice lists every service with its item number and date, so that your insurer or Beihilfe office can process it without follow-up questions.
Payment and cancellations
- You pay by bank transfer or in cash – after each appointment or collected after several appointments, whichever you prefer.
- You receive a proper invoice for every treatment.
- Appointments can be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours in advance. For later cancellations I charge the agreed treatment price, unless I was able to fill the slot otherwise.
- Before the first treatment we put the services and prices in writing together, so you know exactly where you stand.
Still have questions?
Call me or send a message. I will tell you in advance which services make sense in your case and what an appointment will actually cost – without obligation and without time pressure.
