General Terms and Conditions

Childbirth preparation courses (max. 14 hours) provided by a midwife are generally covered by health insurance. The course hours attended by the pregnant participant will be billed to her statutory or private health insurance company according to the Midwife Services Agreement (fee schedule according to §134a SGB V) and thus paid by them.

Most health insurance companies also reimburse the partner's fee or parts thereof.

To submit the flat fee of €150 (for courses starting from March 30, 2026) to the health insurance company, a certificate of attendance will be issued (digitally) at the end of the course.

The place is secured once the registration form has been fully completed and returned, and after the confirmation email has been sent by the midwife (please check your spam folder if necessary), the partner's fee has been transferred within one week and received in the account no later than 10 working days after registration.

For those with statutory health insurance, the midwife will bill the attended course hours (€11.40/60 min) directly to the statutory health insurance company.

For those with private health insurance, the full invoice amount (at 1.8 times the rate in RLP = €246.24) must be transferred. You will receive an invoice for the hours attended and submit this to your health insurance company for reimbursement.

If participants miss individual hours, the midwife retains the right to the fee if the content of the missed hour is provided in digital form. According to position 4010X of the fee schedule, the midwife also has the option to bill course hours in the form of self-study units.

Cancellation, both for individual hours or for the entire course, requires written notification (by email).

If the participant cannot attend the childbirth preparation course, this must be communicated to the midwife 30 days before the start of the course to allow the place to be filled by someone else.

For cancellations up to 30 days before the start of the course, no costs will be charged. For cancellations up to 14 days before the start of the course, 50% of the above-mentioned amount will be charged. For later cancellations, the full amount will be charged. If the place can be reassigned at short notice, no costs will be incurred.

The midwife reserves the right to cancel individual course hours at short notice if necessary (especially in case of illness) and reschedule them. Absence from the replacement hour cannot be reimbursed.

Furthermore, the midwife reserves the right to offer the course digitally/in combination (online and in-person) if necessary (pandemic, illness). Registration is binding for all formats.

Should the course not take place due to insufficient participants or other reasons, the partner's fee will be fully refunded.
