Common questions
Do I need a referral for depression treatment at Spital Emmental?
Assessment can be arranged through the outpatient clinics; for Spravato specifically, the Swiss route requires a psychiatrist to confirm the Limitatio criteria and obtain the insurer's cost approval (Kostengutsprache) before the first dose.
Who is eligible for reimbursed Spravato?
Adults 18-74 whose current moderate-to-severe episode has not responded to at least two antidepressants plus one augmentation attempt, with CGI-S of 5 or more; basic insurance covers a maximum of 10 months after insurer pre-approval.
