- Only after individual confirmation is the journey firmly scheduled.
What we need before the journey

- practice, date and time
- Return journey
- fixed time or a realistic time buffer
- Mobility
- wheelchair, aids and companion
- Cost route
- prescription, approval or self-payment
A single appointment or ongoing treatment
For a single appointment, the practice address, time and return wish are enough. If treatment runs for weeks or months, give weekdays, times and the expected period. Report changes to treatment days early so the planning can be adjusted. A request alone is not yet a confirmed booking.
Muster 4 and cost coverage
Psychotherapists, too, can prescribe patient transport under the statutory conditions. Whether the health insurer covers the ride depends on the individual medical and insurance situation. Information on the process is in our guide to Muster 4; when the insurer must approve a ride in advance is explained in getting approval from the insurer.
Calm and plannable to treatment
For regular rides, a request by email is especially practical. Appointments, return journey and necessary documents can then be agreed clearly. How a series of appointments is generally planned is described in our guide to regular and recurring rides. A familiar driver is considered where planning allows, but not guaranteed.
How can the journey be paid for?
PrimaFahrten can help prepare journey details and a cost estimate, but the cost carrier decides whether costs are approved or covered.
- Cost bearer
- depending on the individual case and approval, a cost bearer may be responsible.
- Self-payment
- Individual quote before the journey is confirmed.
- Billing
- we clarify the suitable billing route and required documents in advance.
