Common questions

Can Sonnenhalde help with insurance approval questions?

Yes. The reception (+41 61 645 46 46) explicitly answers questions on insurance, cost coverage and cost approvals (Kostengutsprachen); for esketamine the insurer's approval must be in place before the first dose per the BAG Limitatio.

Who qualifies for reimbursed Spravato treatment?

Adults aged 18-74 with treatment-resistant depression: at least two antidepressants with different mechanisms plus one augmentation attempt without sufficient response, and confirmed severity. Referral runs through your treating psychiatrist, and coverage is limited to a maximum of 10 months.
