Practice for Integral Evolution Katia Trost
1. Remuneration agreement
According to § 630 a) Paragraph 1 BGB (code of civil law), a contract is created between the practitioner and the patient/client * as soon as an appointment is booked. The amount of remuneration between the naturopath and the patient can be freely agreed upon. The naturopath is not bound to pricing.
No insurance is accepted for patients/clients other than in Germany. Invoices will not be tailored to be reimbursed by insurance.
2.1. Bundles
Therapy mandatorily begins with a bundle of appointments including the intake, one follow-up appointment, and three sessions of trauma therapy.
One blood withdrawal may also be included according to the patient’s need.
The fee for the bundle booked must always be paid in full before the start of treatment. Only then are the patient’s appointments made binding.
The applicable fees can be viewed here.
2.2. Additional Appointments / Hourly Fee
If the patient needs additional appointments in addition to the appointments included in the bundle, the hourly fee is € 110, regardless of whether this time is spent with the patient or the preparatory and follow-up work.
2.3. Follow-Up Appointments
Follow-up appointments are charged with an hourly fee of €110, regardless of whether this time is spent with the patient or the preparatory and follow-up work.
For the most effective and individual consultation possible, each patient appointment requires an after-work from half an hour to two hours. Preparatory work takes up to half an hour. Preparatory and follow-up work are included in each appointment’s fee.
Costs for laboratory tests, nutritional supplements or naturopathic medicines are not included in the fees.
The practice is subject to VAT (VAT ID No. DE317747384)

Fees are due by appointment. Appointments are billed by a flat-rate package and not by the exact amount of time spent on the patient.
Appointments are payable through PayPal.

Generally, no treatment inquiries will be answered by email inquiry.
Treatment questions shall be clarified during appointments. This is how the therapist fulfills his or her duty of care in the treatment.
The patient is free to e-mail for questions about understanding his plans. These questions should be bundled in only one email.
The practice is by appointment only.
Every patient is assigned the next possible appointment. There is no entitlement to a preferred choice of dates in emergencies. By law, emergencies are not dealt with in this practice.
5. Change of Address / Non-Delivery
The patient is responsible to provide correct address details and to notify us about changes of address immediately. If the determination of address data is necessary, the patient pays the additional costs.
The treatment is carried out by health practitioner Ulrike Hilpert exclusively.
7.1 Booking Appointments
All times are booked within the Berlin time zone. It is the patient’s duty to convert times to his or her time zone.
All dates of the bundle are set before the start of treatment but can be postponed while observing the cancellation deadline (e.g. in the event of illness or a business trip).
All appointments, save the optional blood withdrawal, are held by telemedia, such as Zoom.
Appointments are only binding on the part of the practice for if they have also been confirmed in writing.
Confirmation of the online booking comes from the email address info@katiatrost.de. The patient is encouraged to also check his SPAM folder if he has not received any confirmation in a timely manner.
Reservations, however, are not binding appointments.
Appointments for acute homeopathic treatment with Ulrike Hilpert can only be booked online until 6 p.m. the previous day (Berlin timezone). Appointments that arrive afterward are neither considered nor confirmed for the next day.
Appointments will only be binding when they have been confirmed.
Regardless of the agreed cancellation period (see 7.3), the patient has a 14-day right of withdrawal by law. According to this, contracts that have been concluded by telemedia can be revoked within 14 days without giving any reason.
In order to preserve the contractual cancellation deadline, dates can only take place after the cancellation period of 14 days.
If the patient generally wants to have appointments at short notice, he or she can waive the notice period of 14 days by means of the patient contract.
7.3 Cancellation of agreed Appointments
Bundles can be completely canceled up to 48 hours before the first appointment of the bundle.
After starting the first appointment, the patient can no longer cancel the bundle, even if he does not want to attend the associated appointments. The entitlement to the fee for the entire bundle remains.
This also applies to cancellations made at short notice, i.e. less than 48 hours before the appointment.
All other appointments (including the ones in the bundle) can be postponed or cancelled free of charge up to 48 hours before the start of the appointment. Appointments that are postponed or canceled at short notice by the patient result in a cancellation fee, see below.
The cancellation fee applies regardless of the reason for the cancellation (traffic jam, child sick, business trip).
A cancellation fee also applies if the appointment is terminated prematurely by the patient.
If, contrary to expectations, the practice for integral evolution does not meet an appointment, cancel or postpone it less than 48 hours in advance, the patient will be given the following appointment for free.
If the patient arrives late, the fee agreements for the appointments apply in full. There is no entitlement to an extension of the appointment.
If appointments are combined (e.g. medical intake and blood withdrawal), both appointments must be canceled separately.
The patient is responsible for timely cancellation if laboratory tests, which do not run through practice, but through external laboratories, are delayed.
The patient cannot postpone appointments in the bundle indefinitely. The right to attend the appointment expires after 6 months, counting from the original date of the appointment.
8. Obligation to inform, Notification and Complications
According to § 630 c) BGB, the patient is obliged to participate in the treatment. By filling out the patient forms and his personal information, among other things, he undertakes to inform the practice of his state of health and living conditions to the best of his knowledge and belief.
He also undertakes to personally inform the practice about any subsequent changes to his state of health, as well as about changes in living conditions relevant to the treatment.
All questionnaires that the patient completes as part of the treatment fall within the scope of this agreement.
According to § 630 e) BGB, the therapists are obliged to inform the patient about side effects, risks and complications. Although complications are very rare, the patient is encouraged to notify the therapist of any complications. Initial reactions such as an initial intensification of pain, an exacerbation of the complexion or the mood can also occur. The patient reports on reactions and problems that occur during his appointments.
The patient is aware that some of the methods offered, e.g. Homeopathy are not recognized scientifically or by conventional medicine and are used in the context of empirical medicine. The use of these methods alone does not lead to a treatment error. The principles of patient autonomy and contractual freedom apply to the decision to be treated with non-scientifically recognized alternative treatment methods. The alternative practitioner is not obliged to point out his lack of specialist medical competence should the patient consciously decide against regular medical treatment and for alternative medical treatment.
There is no liability for the actions of third parties taken. This also applies to damage from cooperation relationships.
The practice team at the Integral Evolution Practice is committed to keeping all information and treatments within the relationship between therapist and patient confidential.
