Frequently asked questions
These are the questions I am asked most often on the telephone. If yours is not here, just call me: +49 160 50 55 374.
What does a session cost?
Between 80 and 120 euros. The amount depends on the length of the session and what is required. Billing follows the German fee schedule for Heilpraktiker (GebüH). I tell you the amount before the first session.
How long does a session last?
Between 45 and 90 minutes, usually 60.
How many sessions will I need?
That depends on the condition. Acute complaints usually need one to three sessions, chronic ones more. How many make sense in your case can only be estimated after the examination.
Will my health insurance pay?
If you are insured outside Germany: generally no. The Heilpraktiker profession has no equivalent in most countries, and statutory health insurers do not usually cover these treatments.
Some private or supplementary policies do cover complementary medicine. Please check with your insurer BEFORE you come, and ask what documentation they need. I provide an itemised invoice.
Do I need a referral?
For treatment as a Heilpraktiker, no – you can book directly. Physiotherapy in the strict sense requires a doctor’s prescription, and only German prescriptions can be billed to a German insurer.
From what age do you treat babies?
From the first day of life. Infants are treated with very gentle techniques. Whether treatment is advisable in an individual case is decided after the examination.
How do I get an appointment?
Call me on +49 160 50 55 374, Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. We then arrange the appointment together.
Where is the practice and where can I park?
Defrancestr. 9, 66763 Dillingen/Saar, Pachten district. There is a car park directly outside the door, and free parking in the surrounding streets. Full details on the Contact page.
Do you make home visits?
Yes. If coming to the practice is not possible, I will come to you in Dillingen and the immediate surroundings, for all treatments. A surcharge and travel costs are added; I tell you the amount beforehand.
What language is the consultation in?
My working language is German. I speak English well, so we will understand each other without difficulty. For a detailed conversation about emotional matters, German is still easier for me.
