To be well supported

Your path to PONTEM Medic

Taking the first step towards psychosomatic treatment can feel like a big step. Perhaps you’re unsure whether PONTEM Medic is the right place for you. Perhaps you’d like to understand first how the admission process works and what to expect. That’s exactly what this page is for: it takes you through the admission process step by step and explains how we support you from your initial enquiry right through to the start of your treatment.

To be allowed to settle in first

You don’t need to have everything sorted out before you get in touch. Many people come to us because they feel they need support, but aren’t yet sure which path is right for them. The intake process is therefore not just about organisation, but also about finding your way.

We listen, take your concerns seriously and work with you to determine what the next sensible steps are. This creates an initial safe space where you can ask questions and openly talk about what’s on your mind.

From the first contact to treatment.

This is how the admission process works

1

You Get in Touch

Contact us, for example via the enquiry form, by phone or through a digital contact channel. Your enquiry will be treated confidentially. You do not need to describe your situation perfectly yet. What matters is simply taking the first step.

2

We Contact You Personally

After receiving your enquiry, we get in touch with you. We clarify some initial questions: What is currently affecting you? What kind of support are you looking for? Are there already any medical or therapeutic documents? And which location might be suitable for you?

3

We Assess Your Situation Together

In the next step, we explore whether psychosomatic treatment at PONTEM Medic could generally be suitable for you. This is not about rushing to conclusions, but about developing an initial shared understanding of your symptoms, the challenges you are facing and your current life situation.

4

We Discuss Documents and Requirements

Depending on your individual situation, different documents may be relevant, for example medical findings, previous reports, referrals or information from your insurer. We explain what is required in your case and which steps make sense.

5

We Clarify Cost Coverage

Questions about cost coverage are among the most important topics for many guests before admission. Together, we identify which organisations may be involved and what information is required. The process may vary depending on your insurer or funding provider.

We Prepare Your Admission

If treatment at PONTEM Medic is possible, we discuss the next organisational steps with you: location, timeframe, travel, points of contact and everything that is important for your stay.

You Start Treatment Well Prepared

Our aim is for you to arrive without unanswered questions. You should know what to expect, who you can turn to and how your stay will begin. This allows you to focus step by step on what truly matters: regaining stability and finding your way toward greater self-efficacy and autonomy.

What information would help us with your enquiry?

The better we understand your situation, the more effectively we can support you. However, basic information is sufficient for your initial enquiry.

The following, for example, would be helpful:

  • what symptoms are currently affecting you 
  • how long you’ve been experiencing these symptoms 
  • whether you are already receiving medical or therapeutic treatment 
  • whether there are any previous medical records or reports 
  • which insurance company or funding body might be responsible 
  • which location would be suitable for you 
  • whether you have any specific questions or concerns 

You don’t need to know everything straight away. If anything is missing, we’ll discuss it together.

Do I need to have been diagnosed already?

No. You don’t need to come to us with a definitive diagnosis. Many mental health and psychosomatic conditions are complex and cannot be clearly identified straight away. Perhaps you feel exhausted, tense inside, low or physically unwell, without knowing exactly what’s causing it.

The assessment process helps to make sense of your situation. If treatment at PONTEM Medic might be suitable, we’ll show you what the next possible steps are. If another approach seems more appropriate, we’ll tell you so honestly and responsibly.

Admission is more than just organisation

Starting treatment isn’t just about forms, paperwork and appointments. It’s often the moment when uncertainty gives way to a concrete next step. That’s why we make sure you feel well supported even before treatment begins.

At PONTEM Medic, this means: you’ll receive clear information, have a personal point of contact and be given clear guidance. You’re welcome to ask questions. It’s OK to feel uncertain. And you don’t have to figure out what to do next on your own.

Being self-reliant and confident

Good support doesn’t mean that everything is done for you. It means that you are provided with a safe space in which you can find stability, gain a better understanding of yourself and develop new ways of acting.

Our aim is for you to gradually gain more confidence in yourself and your path. That is the core of our service offering: ‘Being self-reliant and confident’.
