Practice counsellor somatic

In people with chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, renal dysfunction, asthma and COPD and cardiovascular disease, periodic monitoring is necessary. The GP somatic practice support person (POH-S) does the supervision of these chronic conditions within a regular consultation hour. The results of the check-ups are discussed with your GP and, if necessary, the GP adjusts the treatment. When the POH-S invites you for an appointment, it is always at the request of your GP.

The POH-S has undergone training that enables her to independently draw up a treatment plan for the above-mentioned patients. As there are continuous developments in her field, she attends many refresher courses every year. Where necessary, the POH-S consults with the GP.

There are no costs associated with the care provided by the POH-S. The costs are reimbursed by the basic insurance. Your excess will not be charged, as the care falls under GP care.
