FAQ

Frequently asked questions

We are happy to assist you personally with any questions regarding digital care counselling. You can also find detailed answers to topics such as the video counselling process, reimbursement in accordance with SGB XI, documentation, requirements, data protection, and the applicable legal framework in our comprehensive Digital Care Counselling FAQ

Digital care counselling has been permitted since 2022 and is legally regulated under Section 7a SGB XI. Every second counselling session may be conducted via video consultation, provided that the person receiving care agrees. The legally required frequency remains unchanged – Care Grades 2 and 3: every six months; Care Grades 4 and 5: every three months.

Under Section 37 SGB XI, every second care counselling session may be conducted digitally. However, the first counselling session must always take place in person.

For digital consultations, the use of a certified video service provider is mandatory.

Our TeleDoc software fulfils these requirements and is listed on the official register of certified video service providers.

To participate in a video-based care counselling session, individuals in need of care or their relatives only require an internetenabled device equipped with a camera, microphone, and speaker, such as a smartphone, tablet, or laptop. The consultation takes place directly in the web browser without the need to install an app. Current versions of Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Firefox are supported. Even with weaker internet connections, video quality automatically adjusts to ensure stable and reliable communication.

Different requirements apply to care professionals: Smartphone use is not permitted. For reasons of usability, documentation, and data security, consultations must be conducted using a tablet or laptop, ideally with a larger screen to allow simultaneous use of forms and video functionality. This ensures that care counselling can be carried out professionally, in compliance with legal requirements, and with complete documentation.

Digital care counselling is reimbursed under the same rules as an in-person counselling session pursuant to Section 37 (3) SGB XI. It is considered equivalent and reimbursed at the same rates, provided the following requirements are met:

  • The first counselling session must take place in person.
  • Every second counselling session may be conducted digitally via video conference.
  • The consultation must be carried out through a certified video service provider.
  • The verification form must indicate that the counselling session was conducted digitally.

First, an appointment is arranged with the family caregiver or the person in need of care. The access link for the consultation is then sent via email or SMS. Alternatively, a six-digit TAN code can be used. Before the session begins, the participant consents to the privacy policy and grants permission to use the camera and microphone. The care counselling session then proceeds as usual, only in a digital format.

Video consultations save time, travel, and administrative effort, particularly for people with limited mobility. Provided the necessary consent has been obtained, digital counselling is legally equivalent to in-person counselling. As a result, both family caregivers and care professionals benefit from greater flexibility when scheduling appointments.

Digital care counselling creates new efficiencies:

  • No travel time
  • More counselling sessions per day
  • Flexible working models (e.g. remote work)
  • Scalable care delivery despite workforce shortages

Clear processes for appointment management, data protection, and documentation are essential. Your team should be familiar with the technology to ensure that digital counselling can be delivered securely, professionally, and efficiently.

Yes. We support you from the very beginning with initial training, comprehensive software onboarding, and an easy-to-understand user manual. If you have any questions, our support team is always available by phone or email.

Datenschutz unserer Videosprechstunde

Mit dem TeleDoc-Starter sind Ihre Daten in Sicherheit!

Die Abrechnung für eine Videosprechstunde erfolgt entsprechend der üblichen Pauschalen des Einheitlichen Bewertungsmaßstabs (EBM), je nach Arztgruppe. Es gibt keine besonderen Regelungen. Das bedeutet, dass der Patient oder die Patientin an einer Videosprechstunde teilnimmt und Sie die Versicherten- oder Grundpauschale (mit Ausnahme von GOP 03030, 04030, 12220 und 12225) sowie die entsprechenden Zuschläge abrechnen können. Es ist – wie bei einer normalen Sprechstunde – nicht möglich, zusätzliche Abrechnungsziffern für weitere Arzt-Patienten-Kontakte zu nutzen.
Es gibt spezielle Abrechnungsziffern, die ausschließlich für Leistungen per Video zur Verfügung stehen und verwendet werden können. Dies ist beispielsweise bei Videofallkonferenzen oder Telekonsilen der Fall. Außerdem können der Authentifizierungszuschlag (GOP 01444 EBM) und der Technikzuschlag (GOP 01450 EBM) nicht in einer normalen Sprechstunde abgerechnet werden.

Weitere Informationen zur Abrechnung bietet Ihnen die Kassenärztliche Bundesvereinigung oder diese Übersicht.

Bitte beachten Sie, dass wir keine Abrechnungsexperten sind und die Angaben zur Abrechenbarkeit der Videosprechstunde nicht laufend durch uns aktualisiert werden können.
