Information for psychotherapists

With the change in the law that came into effect on 1 July 2022 allowing psychological psychotherapy to be reimbursed under mandatory healthcare insurance (OKP), it is now easier for all insured persons to access affordable, quality-assured psychotherapeutic services.

SWICA is committed to helping customers who have mental health problems by providing them with quick and easy access to psychotherapy from qualified professionals. It should be possible to access this therapy under both basic insurance and supplementary insurance.
