About this provider

Per its referrer pages it holds cantonal service contracts for psychosomatic rehabilitation and for psychiatry limited to psychosomatic illness in the F3, F4, F5 and F7-9 diagnostic spectrum, and it cooperates with the Cantonal Hospital St. Gallen and Hirslanden Klinik Stephanshorn. Its public pages do not describe a dedicated esketamine programme.

Common questions

How do I get admitted to the Oberwaid for psychosomatic treatment?

The clinic works with referring physicians (dedicated Zuweiser pages for psychosomatics); clinic enquiries are taken at +41 71 282 07 00. For esketamine under basic insurance the route runs through your treating psychiatrist.

Does insurance cover esketamine before approval is granted?

No. Under the BAG Limitatio the insurer's cost approval (Kostengutsprache) must be obtained before the first dose, and eligibility requires age 18-74 and treatment-resistant depression (at least two antidepressants with different mechanisms plus one augmentation attempt failed, confirmed severity); coverage is limited to 10 months.
