Fees/Treatment Costs
Here you will find an overview about fees and treatment costs in our practice for regulatory hormonal balance.
Please take note of additional info under the chart.
Fees
Hourly fee:
110 €* per hour, regardless of whether we spend this time in conversation with the patient or with prep-work or after-work.
We do not offer naturopathic doping in our practice. We always look for root causes and real solutions for a problem,. We want to enable patients to self-empower themselves so they can work through all issues contributing to their condition. While we appreciate returning patients, we absolutely love happy patients that became healthy and can function on their own. In order to release patients happily as soon as possible, treatment needs to be as efficient and individual as possible.
We can only provide individual services if we include after-work starting at half an hour through to two hours. Our prep-work will take up to half an hour. We will bill this time outside patient conversations at a fixed fee and not individually.
Prep- or after-work means:
Review of questionnaires and lab work, documentation, individual research, compilation of treatment plans for nutritional supplements, adjustment treatment plans, homeopathic repertorization (acute and chronic), conversations with labs and the organization of complex information for easy understanding from the patient’s perspective
But also:
Preparation of specimens before and after blood withdrawal, Purchase of dry ice and packaging, Coordination of highly perishable specimens and their shipment to special labs abroad
Fees
The first appointment (Ersttermin) is an exploratory conversation, which takes 60 minutes and costs 150 Euro. Every treatment starts with this exploratory appointment in which we will determine whether the patient’s needs can be met in our practice. The patient will be provided with extensive information about the treatment after this appointment so the patient can make an informed decision about starting a treatment with us.
30-minute appointments and acute appointments are always by telephone calls. 60-minute appointments can take place in person or by telephone. The first appointment (Ersttermin) is always by telephone.

*For German residents only: We charge 3% extra on the bill for patients who have a (complimentary) private insurance or are entitled to state aid (Beihilfe) since we use an accounting office to process bills for these patients, see below. The same applies to patients who opt for a payment target of 30 days.
More details about our Services
Note on acute appointments:
Acute appointments are not emergency calls, since health practitioners are not allowed to attend emergencies. Emergencies are defined as situations that require immediate attention to prevent serious and imminent dangers to your health or threats to your life. Acute appointments are there to make sure that you get a timely appointment to get treatment advice about acute complaints such as colds, hay fever, cramps, surgery after-care, accident. We will not evaluate or adjust your regular treatment plan outside of the context of the acute ailment. It is an additional appointment in which we will give you homeopathic advice mostly. We will make an effort to provide this appointment short notice. We will only be able to to so, if we exclusively concentrate on the acute problems and not on your regular supplementation etc.. Your regular appointments require more after-work, which is why we need to schedule them properly.
Should you need adjustments to your regular treatment plans or should you generally be concerned about your treatment because you are having trouble with your supplements etc., please book a regular follow-up appointment. We will probably not be able to provide you with regular follow-up appointments on a short notice, however.
Notice on explanatory appointments:
Explanatory appointments are always extra appointments that refer to a treatment plan that already exists. These appointments are a chance for you to discuss doubts or to get general advice (about a surgery, complementary treatment with colleagues, life-style advice). Should we have to do after-work for these appointments, they will be converted into regular follow-up appointments and be billed accordingly.

Reimbursement by private health insurances (German residents only)
Reimbursement of our fees through German private insurances are possible and depend on individual service packages and agreements.
Private Insurance and State aid (Beihilfe)
Especially complimentary private insurances and state aid (Beihilfe) will likely only reimburse a percentage of any bill. Most of the bill will have to be paid by the patient.
State aid agencies (Beihilfe) may exclude the reimbursement of health practitioner bills completely, in other cases, state aid will not reimburse so called “analogous” billing or they will only reimburse these bills arbitrarily.
Private Insurance
Private insurances will likely reimburse a big percentage of the patient’s bill. However, we can never guarantee a reimbursement and the patient will have to carry some of the costs himself.
Accounting Service
In order to improve chances of reimbursement by private health insurances and state aid (Beihilfe) we will have bills from patients concerned issued by a medical accounting service (PAS Dr. Hammerl).
The billing will follow the rules agreed upon by private insurances and state aid (Beihilfe) that rely on positions in the service catalogue for German health practitioners (GebüH).
This accounting service is an intermediary between patient and private health insurance in case of conflict, questions, etc..
For this service, we charge an extra 3% over the final amount of the bill.
However, we can never guarantee reimbursement.
We will not be able to change bills according to the patient’s wishes (like splitting of appointments) in order to improve chances of reimbursement
Our fees are due independently of any reimbursement. Please ask your private insurance about the conditions of reimbursement before starting treatment.
Public Health Care
Public health care will never reimburse bills issued by health practitioners.
10 days Payment target
We allow a 10 day payment target for our bills. Should you wish for a longer payment target, we will have your bill issued by our accounting service. Please inform us about your wishes at the time of your booking.
We allow an additional 3% over the total sum for that service.
No free or 24-hour support
Please understand that we will only give treatment advice after personal conversations within the frame of a booked appointment.
Of course, you will be able to clarify doubts concerning your treatment plans, but for liability and practical reasons, we will not answer these questions through e-mail alone or by spontaneous phone calls.
Those are the reasons:
- We wouldn’t be able to manage the flood of additional daily e-mails.
- Even seemingly short questions will always lead to more questions and thoughts on our part. We will need to clarify with you, also to fulfill our duty of due diligence. Regardless of legal reasons, the treatment will suffer, if we don’t get a clear picture of what is going on with the patient.
- Most of the questions asked can be clarified by reading the documents received during treatment. In these documents, you will also learn what to do immediately when things don’t go the way they should.
- Many questions asked will require after-work. We need to schedule after-work carefully, otherwise, patients actually scheduled for the day will be in a disadvantage and miss out on their deserved diligence.
Appointments may be scheduled during our regular working hours, see Appointments/Contact
Lab Work
Fees for lab tests are not included.
The Walsh Test costs about 150 € (depending on Dollar exchange rate and share of shipping costs, includes vat.).
We also work with a (hair mineral analysis) from Verisana labs (149,45 €).
All labs will bill the patient directly, exception below.
The Walsh Test will be billed through our practice, since we collect samples in order to save shipping costs for patients (otherwise 200$ individually).
We are happy to give you a prescription for tests for your private health insurance provider. But most providers will not reimburse our tests. However, we will not fill out any paper work for non German insurances.
The same applies to the reimbursement of nutritional supplements and homeopathy.
Cancellation Fee
We do allow for a cancellation fee of 100% in a few cases.
A cancellation fee applies if:
- appointments are cancelled short notice within 48 hours before the appointment begins. The reason for the cancellation is inconsequential (illness, illness of your children, no babysitter, traffic jam, vacation, business trip, plane late etc.).
- Appointments are finished before its scheduled end on the patient’s behalf. The reason for the cancellation is inconsequential.
- Appointments can’t take place because the patient failed to return his questionnaires for the intake (Anamnese). There is no use in having the intake without complete information.
- Appointments can’t take place because the patient failed to provide test results that need to be ordered by the patient independently from our practice. It is the patient’s responsibility to postpone appointments within the 48 notice should become clear that test results will not be available at the time of the appointment.
It is possible to convert an in practice appointment into a by phone appointment in case of illness or other circumstances that allow for a phone call while a personal visit is not possible.
Lateness on part of the patient will be discounted from the allotted time. Appointments will not be extended to compensate for lost time. We try not to let patients wait. Please extend the same courtesy to us.
Should we cancel an appointment short notice, be it no shows or double book, you will get your make-up session for free.
