Before starting an app
Insurance coverage depends on the diagnosis, previous treatment and other requirements. We also check your smartphone and ability to use the app. We explain the expected treatment schedule and your costs at consultation.
These are estimates for in-person care. Costs for online consultations may differ. If you are unsure of your copayment rate, please ask at reception.
