Information for your first appointment<\/strong><\/p>\n Please bring the following documents with you to your first session:<\/p>\n If there is any uncertainty about who will cover the costs, your health insurance company is obliged to pay in advance.<\/p>\n Digital registration and appointment management Clothing<\/strong> Cold or illness<\/strong> We kindly ask you to cancel appointments lasting 25\u201330 minutes at least 24 hours in advance and appointments lasting 40\u201350 minutes at least 36 hours in advance so that we can reallocate the slots. In the event of a last-minute cancellation or no-show, we will have to charge you privately for the cost of the appointment, including VAT. These costs cannot be covered by health or accident insurance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Physiotherapy is covered by basic insurance. This means that your health or accident insurance will cover the costs. In addition, depending on your supplementary insurance, billing via the EMR is possible. Please check with your supplementary insurance provider for more information.<\/p>\n Private appointments are available at any time and will be billed to you privately.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> A standard physiotherapy session lasts 25-30 minutes. During this time, you will receive active or passive treatment and administrative tasks such as your treatment documentation will be carried out. The first treatment must take place within 5 weeks of the date of issue. After that, however, treatment can be carried out over a period of three months. The rate for basic insurance<\/strong> for physiotherapy is set by law and consists of a flat-rate treatment fee and, depending on the case, additional charges. These flat rates are the same throughout Switzerland, for example, the \u201csession flat rate for general physiotherapy\u201d with 48 TPW (25 min) or for \u201ccomplex physiotherapy\u201d (including, for example, neurological diseases, ATG, MLD, or several affected regions of the musculoskeletal system) with 77 tax points. (Duration 30-40 min. depending on the clinical picture and effort required.) From July 1, 2025, the accident insurance<\/strong> tariff will be billed at 10.03 (standard tariff for individual treatment) in 5-minute intervals and multiplied by the tax point value of CHF 1.00. Private treatments:<\/strong> Normally, there are 9 treatments, but in exceptional cases, the doctor may prescribe more or fewer treatments at their discretion. Medical training therapy (MTT) is a medically prescribed rehabilitation program that is suitable for use after acute injuries and operations as well as for chronic conditions. MTT is limited to the affected area of the body and should not be seen as a substitute for traditional fitness training.<\/p>\n MTT marks the end of the rehabilitation phase and involves independent training under the guidance of a physiotherapist. The aim is to restore the patient’s physical abilities. This may include improving balance, coordination and posture, strength, flexibility, speed or endurance.<\/p>\n As MTT is reimbursed for rehabilitation purposes, at least one series of physiotherapy sessions must have taken place beforehand. MTT is carried out on medical prescription and is covered by basic or accident insurance. An MTT program is limited to three months. The optimal frequency of training is decided on a case-by-case basis.<\/p>\n The start date is the date on which the training program is created (25 min.). At the start of MTT, all training appointments are scheduled for three months and are binding, but can be easily rescheduled or canceled via the Softplus Cockpit app if you are unable to attend.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Preparation at home<\/strong><\/p>\n Therapist arrival time<\/strong><\/p>\n Accessibility and safety<\/strong><\/p>\n Duration, procedure, and goal<\/strong><\/p>\n Appointment changes and cancellations<\/strong><\/p>\n Prescription and costs<\/strong><\/p>\n Writing reports for doctors or health insurance companies under basic insurance often involves a considerable amount of time, which is not covered by the insurance companies.
