question regarding insurance coverage for voice training in germany
Does someone have a link to a resource proving that Stimmtherapie for trans people is compensated for by public insurance? (Techniker in our case)
We start voice training last week but had to pause it, our general physician doesn't feel comfortable writing the Heilmittelverodnung for it after all, at least without an answer from our insurance.

@etherbloom my friend is a speech therapist and has successfully billed trans voice training to insurance afaik, I think the indication was just sth like "unnaturally deep voice"

@etherbloom I can ask him (I'm actually going to a concert with him later today) but from what I can tell the Krankenkasse shouldn't make much of a fuss about speech therapy. Sadly there doesn't seem to be much in writing about it, most info is about grs and hormones

@etherbloom yeah that's definitely possible, it doesn't have to be trans-specific, they can just prescribe Stimmtherapie with some kind of diagnosis

@noiob That would be very, very much appreciated.
The most important part for my situation: Are general practioners also allowed to provide a Heilmittelverordnung for Voice Training trans?
(As this is the reason why mine is blocking it at the moment, as she isn't sure)
