New regulation of psychotherapy as of 1 July 2022
According to the Federal Council's decision psychological psychotherapy will in future be paid for by basic health insurance. The prerequisite is that it is ordered by a doctor.
Currently, it is only covered by the basic insurance if the therapist is employed by a doctor and the service is provided under his or her supervision.
All questions and answers on the prescription model can also be found at FSP.
Further requirements:
Cantonal licence to practise the profession
at least 3 years of experience in clinical psychotherapy (see SIWF)
Self-employment with own invoicing
All further information on self-employment is available in our Step-by-Step Guide.
