Rates & Cost Coverage
Transparent pricing for physiotherapy in Zurich — at my practice with or without a medical prescription, and as a home visit with a prescription only.
How Billing Works
In Switzerland, physiotherapy with a valid medical prescription is billed through your basic health insurance (KVG) or accident/liability insurer (UVG/IV/MV). Sessions without a prescription are invoiced directly to you at self-pay rates. Home visits are only possible with a valid medical prescription; they are billed under the official tariff together with the regulated travel surcharge. I issue invoices compliant with official Swiss physiotherapy billing standards and am recognised by all Swiss insurers.
Insurance Coverage
KVG – Basic Health Insurance
Physiotherapy sessions prescribed by a doctor are covered by your obligatory health insurance. You pay only your deductible (Franchise) and co-payment (Selbstbehalt) as defined by your policy.
UVG / IV / MV
Work accidents, non-work accidents, and invalidity insurance cover physiotherapy at regulated tariffs. Your employer's accident insurer or IV handles billing directly.
Supplementary Insurance
Many supplementary insurance plans (Zusatzversicherung) cover physiotherapy without a prescription or with extended session limits. Please verify your coverage directly with your insurer.

Prescription required · per travel timeRegulated rateBilling is handled directly between the therapist and your insurer. You will only be invoiced for your deductible and co-payment share. Home visits are only available with a valid medical prescription.
Self-Pay Rates (No Prescription)
For sessions without a medical prescription or when insurance does not apply. Self-pay sessions take place at my practice — home visits always require a medical prescription.
Cancellation Policy
Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice or missed without cancellation will be charged at the full session rate. These costs are typically not covered by insurance and remain the patient's responsibility.
Important Note
Responsibility for clarifying insurance cost coverage lies with the patient. We recommend contacting your insurer before starting treatment to confirm the extent of your coverage.
