The exact scope of services results from the individual care agreement or the respective course description.

 

3. Conclusion of Contract

A care contract is concluded as soon as an appointment is agreed upon or a course place is bindingly booked.

3. Privately insured clients or self-paying clients will receive an invoice in accordance with the Private Fee Schedule for Midwives in Hesse (HebGebO HE) in the version currently in force.

   The midwife will inform clients in advance about the costs incurred.
5. If a statutory health insurance fund does not meet its obligation to pay (e.g. due to lack of membership), the client is personally liable for the full remuneration.

 

 

5. Appointments and Cancellations

 

1. Agreed appointments are binding.
2. Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours before the appointment.
3. In the event of late or unexcused cancellation, the midwife may charge a cancellation fee equal to the lost remuneration, provided the appointment cannot be reassigned. This cancellation fee is not covered by the health insurance.
