Common questions

How do I get admitted for depression treatment at Klinik Arlesheim?

For inpatient treatment the clinic requires referral by a family doctor or psychiatrist, followed by a clarification consultation that is part of the treatment; outpatient appointments are booked via the psychiatry/psychosomatics secretariat (+41 61 705 72 81).

What are the Swiss insurance conditions for Spravato?

Under the BAG Limitatio, basic insurance covers esketamine nasal spray for adults 18-74 with treatment-resistant depression (at least two antidepressants with different mechanisms plus one augmentation attempt failed, confirmed severity) only after the insurer's cost approval (Kostengutsprache) is granted before the first dose, for a maximum of 10 months.
