General Information
• Courses
The course includes the duration specified during registration; this period has already been selected by the participant upon registration. It will be conducted by midwife Nadine Schmerr in person at the location specified during registration.
• Individual Appointments
The time and date are determined in advance. The recipient of the service ensures that they will be present at that time.
Appointment Terms
An appointment may unfortunately be canceled unexpectedly due to illness or professional reasons. The midwife reserves the right to reschedule the course appointment. The midwife is not liable for any cancellations or the resulting absence of the participant. Individual appointments will be rescheduled by mutual agreement.
The billing for the course fee for childbirth preparation courses and individual appointments is handled by the midwife for those covered by statutory health insurance. This is done directly through the health insurance, and the participant only needs to sign the insurance certificate. Signing this certificate is a prerequisite for receiving care and is done on-site. Otherwise, the service will be billed privately.
For those with private health insurance, the applicable fee will be charged according to the valid private billing regulations, which the participant will need to pay.
For courses with amounts that need to be paid privately, the participant will be issued an invoice for the specified amount.
If the participant's personal details change, they are required to inform the midwife to ensure smooth billing.
Missed Sessions
The health insurance will not reimburse for missed sessions, so the midwife reserves the right to charge fees in accordance with the agreement for midwifery care under § 134a SGB V. Missed appointments and sessions cannot be made up for, regardless of the reason, and will be billed to the participant. The cancellation deadline is 14 days for courses and 24 hours for individual appointments. If the participant does not show up or cancels within the required period, the midwife reserves the right to issue a private bill for the missed costs under § 134a SGB V, including any partner fees, which the participant must settle.
Partner Fee
If a partner fee applies for a course, it will not be covered by the health insurance. It must be transferred to the following account by the first day of the course:
DE66 3705 0198 1901 6883 98
Alternatively, it can be paid in cash.
Hourly Contingent
The recipient of the service ensures that the hours allocated by the health insurance are available for the service. If this is not the case and the health insurance refuses to cover the services, a private bill will be issued to the participant, which they must pay.
Data Protection
In order to manage the participant's data, it is necessary to collect, store, and process it. This is done in accordance with the legal requirements. The participant acknowledges this.
Interns and Students
To promote the sustainability of the midwifery profession, it may occur that interns and midwifery students (hereafter referred to as "HS") attend appointments. They are also bound by confidentiality. In sensitive situations, the recipient of the service may request that the HS not be present. Otherwise, the midwife reserves the right to include HS in the services.
Right to Terminate
The recipient of the service has the right to terminate the contract within 14 days after signing without giving any reason. The midwife also has the same right to terminate the contract, at her discretion in individual cases. After this period, it is no longer possible to receive a refund of any payments already made, and any outstanding invoices must be settled. The recipient of the service expressly waives the extraordinary termination rights under § 626 BGB by signing the contract.
Severability Clause
If any provision of this contract is or becomes invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions will not be affected. In place of the invalid provision, the parties will agree on a provision that they would have agreed upon in good faith, knowing the invalidity of the provision.
