Is the Tomatis® method covered by health insurance?
In Switzerland, the Tomatis method is covered by health insurers, provided you have supplementary insurance. However, it is not covered by basic health insurance (LaMAL), nor by social security in France. Some French mutual insurers (mutuelles) may cover it, but this is fairly rare.

The situation in Switzerland
Health insurers generally cover part of the treatment (from 75% up to 100%), as long as you have supplementary insurance that recognises audio-psycho-phonology according to A. Tomatis.
The treatment is not covered by basic health insurance (LaMAL).
Supplementary insurers that cover all or part of the treatment
Supplementary insurance cover depends on both the method and the therapist. Below, insurers that recognise Julien Frère are marked JF, and those that recognise Jonathan Mathieu are marked JM.

Our centre is approved by the ASCA and RME networks under number V192962 (JF) or W591264 (JM), for audio-psycho-phonology according to A. Tomatis.
Please note: not all Tomatis centres or Tomatis consultants are approved. A treatment reimbursed with us will not necessarily be reimbursed elsewhere.
The situation in France
The Tomatis method is not covered by social security. Some mutual insurers may consider it, but this is fairly rare. Check with your mutual insurer.
