Psychotherapy and Cures: Who Covers Which Services (GKV/PKV)?

The services for psychotherapy and cures differ significantly between GKV and PKV. GKV offers solid basic coverage for recognized psychotherapies and medically necessary cures after approval. PKV coverage varies greatly by tariff, potentially offering more choice but also limitations; check contract details carefully. Supplementary insurance can cover gaps for GKV members, e.g., for naturopath services.
