Service Costs

Insurance Reimbursement and Cost

Germany

Psychotherapy costs are based on the Gebührenordnung für Psychotherapeuten (GOP) with a factor of 3.0.

Psychotherapy services are usually covered in full or in part by private health insurance companies. Privately insured individuals are generally entitled to 5 trial sessions. During these initial treatment sessions, we are able to assess if I am a good fit to provide treatment. If, after these trial sessions, we decide to continue working together then we would discuss the probable frequency and duration of treatment.

For Individuals with Statutory German Health Insurance

German public health insurance does not typically reimburse for my services. In exceptional circumstances (for example: long wait times for a psychotherapist), public health insurance companies may pay for psychological treatment from a private practice psychologist. Clients are responsible to contact their health insurance company to clarify their coverage for my services.

United States of America

American health insurance may provide coverage for my services. Please note that I can only provide services to residents of Massachusetts. If you are intending to use an American health insurance, please check your responsibility on my Alma page: https://secure.helloalma.com/providers/christopher-malone/

Neuropsychological Evaluation

Neuropsychological evaluations are currently only offered in-person in Frankfurt am Main. The price for these evaluations depend on patient specific factors as these influence the total time required. Contact me to discuss anticipated costs.

Coaching

Note that Coaching sessions are not reimbursed by health insurance and must be self-paid.

Cancellation Policy

All services can be rescheduled or cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours before the scheduled time. Cancellations occurring within 24 hours of the appointment will be charged full price.

Clinical Licensure

Germany

I practice under an Erlaubnis zur vorübergehenden Berufsausübung des psychotherapeutischen Berufs from the Hessisches Landesprüfungs- und Untersuchungsamt im Gesundheitswesen (HLPUG) to provide psychotherapy and other psychological services. This license functions identically to the standard Approbation, with the exception that I am only permitted to treat adults who learned English as children (i.e., native English speakers). This restriction does not apply to consulting or coaching services.
