How to prescribe somnio

somnio is a digital health application (DiGA) based on cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and is prescribed as an "app on prescription". Even after the introduction of the e-prescription, DiGA can still only be prescribed on a standard pink paper prescription form. DiGA prescriptions made with an e-prescription will be rejected by the health insurance company.
Note: A statutory health insurance company is not allowed to refuse the prescription of the DiGA somnio due to a missing proof of diagnosis, when a properly completed prescription form (sample 16) was used. Both the indication (F51.0, G47.0) and the duration of use (90 days) are included in the PZN (16898724).

    FAQ

    somnio is the first digital health application (DiGA) in the field of sleep medicine that has received a permanent approval by the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM). It can therefore be prescribed by all physicians and psychotherapists in Germany.

    somnio is suitable for patients with non-organic insomnia (F51.0) or problems falling and staying asleep (G47.0). Patients with this diagnosis suffer from difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep several times a week over a longer period of time, and feel that their daytime well-being is impaired due to these sleep problems.

    The use of somnio is not suitable for people who are currently in an acute crisis, especially in the presence of suicidal ideation and/or intentions.

    Just like other digital health applications (DiGA), somnio can be prescribed as an app on prescription in Germany. Just write the PZN 16898724 and the app's name somnio on the pink prescription form (template 16). The diagnosis and the prescription period do not have to appear on the prescription. Alternatively, the prescription is also possible using a proof of diagnosis. You can download a template for statutory health insurances / for private health insurances here.

    somnio can be prescribed by physicians and psychotherapists of all specialties.

    The "Evaluation and follow-up in connection with the somnio application" can be billed with GOP 01471 (64 points) and with the newly created GOP 30780 (for pain therapists, 64 points). The follow-up can be done either verbally only or with the help of a printed program report from the patient or with the help of the monitor (app.somn.io/doc). Payment for this service is extrabudgetary.

    GOP 30780 can only be billed by panel doctors who have an authorization from the responsible Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KV) in accordance with the Quality Assurance Agreement for the Pain Therapy of Patients with Chronic Pain (Qualitätssicherungsvereinbarung Schmerztherapie) in accordance with Section 135 (2) SGB V.

    DiGA apps are billed on an extrabudgetary basis and do not burden your drug or remedy budget.

    In order to analyze the patient's progress data, you can use the printed patient report or access the patient's data via the online medical report (see below). Alternatively, you can also conduct the discussion verbally. In all cases, GOP 01471 (64 points) or the newly created GOP 30780 (for pain therapists, 64 points) can be used for billing.

    The medical report can be used during consultation hours. It works as follows:

    1. Access code from patient/link to query

    Ask your patient to generate the 8-digit access code and give it to you. They can do so by clicking on “Medical Report” in the app menu.

    Optionally, you can ask your patient to send you a link granting you access to their medical report. The link can be found in the menu under “Medical report” and is valid for one month. It will give you direct insight into the report.

    2. Start medical report and request access

    Open the medical report under app.somn.io/doc and enter your name and access code (by entering your name the patient can verify your identity).

    3. Wait for confirmation

    As soon as the patient has confirmed your access request in the app, you can view the evaluation.

    The usage of the medical report is voluntary.

    Yes, it is possible to have psychological psychotherapy accompanied by a treatment with somnio.

    This is no problem, of course. Patients can also contact their health insurance company themselves and request an additional license code, as they already have an indication. Patients can subsequently enter the new license code in their profile settings to have the license extended. By doing so, their previous progress will be maintained.

    The efficacy of digital CBT-I with somnio has already been proven several times. Two randomized controlled trials and a real-world study in Germany confirmed the effectiveness of somnio as a digital treatment for insomnia. A recently published secondary analysis of sleep disorders in patients with conspicuous symptoms of depression and anxiety has also shown that digital CBT-I with somnio can also reduce the symptoms of depression and anxiety disorders. Find out more about the study results here.

    Data storage of digital health applications (DiGA) is subject to strict requirements, which is why for somnio, we completely refrain from using US American cloud providers (such as GCP, AWS) and have the data processed in Germany exclusively. Patient data will not be passed on to third parties, nor will health insurance companies receive it. The users maintain data sovereignty at all times and can have their data deleted on their own request.

    All relevant information can be found in the BfArM DiGA directory : diga.bfarm.de

    No problem. As a psychotherapist (PP and KJP), you can just enter the following fictitious physician number 999999999 (9×9). You can order the prescription sheet 16 in larger quantities from printing companies or directly from us in smaller quantities.
