Funny meme but genuine question: is it not typical to pay for therapy before the session?
I’m charged as I book the session here in Malaysia, but I’m curious as to peoples’ experiences geographically and in the private & public sector.
In Germany it’s common consensus that payment is done once the work is finished and billed accordingly. Of course for prolonged projects you agree on several installments.
Just recently I learned that according to law your monthly utility payments (for flats) are still your money until you get a proper bill.
I don’t get it on an even more basic level; patient can’t pay and doc suddenly wants additional sessions… why?
In Denmark you pay after the session - I’ve been one place where it’s monthly invoicing, and another where it was payment after each session (by credit card I think)
My insurance covers therapy so I don’t have to pay for that one, but it doesn’t cover podiatry and I do pay that beforehand
In the NL there is only private health insurance, so it’s technically private sector. I pay my 120 EUR premium, and this was included so I never needed to pay at the time of care.
In Canada, we have a few scenarios available but generally, even if you have to pay after your session, it is reimbursed by our health insurance.
We don’t pay up front, though.
