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.
