The cost of treatment is usually covered by your health insurance

Private health insurance

Your private health insurance usually covers the treatment costs for radio surgical treatment with the Gamma Knife. You will receive an invoice for your treatment in accordance with the German Medical Fee Schedule (GOÄ) based on an analog evaluation approved by the German Medical Association.

Statutory health insurance

Radiosurgery for vestibular schwannomas and brain metastases is now covered by health insurance

In 2022, the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) decided to include high-dose, precise irradiation of tumor tissue for the treatment of vestibular schwannomas and brain metastases in the catalog of outpatient services.

This means that we can now offer radiosurgical treatment with the Gamma Knife for these diseases to all patients with statutory health insurance.

We will be happy to provide you with further information on the procedure in a personal consultation.

Other indications

We have concluded agreements with many cost bearers and health insurance companies to cover the costs of treatment with the Gamma Knife and the costs are regularly covered.

For other insurance companies, an individual application for cost coverage is required. We will of course support you with the application and communication with your health insurance company..

After the consultation and the indication, you will receive a doctor’s letter and your personal cost estimate. You submit these documents to your health insurance company. As soon as you have received written confirmation from your insurance company that the treatment costs will be covered, you arrange the treatment appointment with us.
