  • Since July 2022 the costs for psychological psychotherapy are covered by the basic health insurance. It is necessary that a doctor’s prescription (e.g. family doctor) is issued and that a diagnosis is present. It is mandatory to bring the prescription (Anordnung) for the first session as it can’t be billed via basic health insurance otherwise. For psychological counseling the costs are not covered by general health insurance.
  • In the event of psychological complaints as a result of accidents, your accident insurance may, upon request, cover the costs of psychotherapy.
  • If you are the victim of a criminal offense (e.g. abuse, assault,), according to the Federal Act on Assistance to Victims of Crime, there is the possibility of applying for coverage of the cost of psychotherapy. For further information, please contact the Aid of Victims in your canton of residence (for Zurich www.opferhilfe.zh.ch).
  • There is also the possibility of self-payment without a doctor’s referral or billing via the supplementary insurance.
