Answers, before you ask.

Does my health insurance cover the costs?

Do I need a referral to start?

For occupational therapy you need a medical referral – the prescription forms for Switzerland and Germany are available for download in the contact section. Psychological therapy and coaching can be requested directly, without a referral.
