As part of our work as freelance midwives, it is necessary to collect, process, and, if necessary, transfer your personal data. Protecting your data is important to us. This notice informs you about the nature, scope, and purpose of data processing, as well as your rights.

In the case of shared care within the cooperation “hebammenpunkt”, personal data may also be collected and processed by the other midwife involved in your care.
Each midwife is independently responsible for the processing of her own data.
Your personal data is processed for the following purposes:
Providing midwifery care during pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and breastfeeding
Billing services with health insurance providers or privately
Fulfilling legal documentation obligations
Communicating with you in the context of your care

This consent is voluntary and can be revoked at any time with future effect.
These Terms and Conditions apply to all services provided by freelance midwives working under the cooperative name “hebammenpunkt”, in particular to participation in courses, individual appointments, consultations, and other services provided in person, by phone, or digitally.
By booking an appointment or registering for a course, you agree to these terms.
Booking an appointment or registering for a course is binding.
Missed appointments or unattended course sessions will be considered missed services and will be charged privatelyaccording to the cancellation fees listed below, unless cancelled in due time (see section 4).
Please note that certain services can only be billed once per pregnancy or postpartum period by statutory health insurance providers. These services include in particular:
Initial consultations
Medical history interviews
Birth preparation classes
Postnatal recovery courses
If you use similar services more than once or with multiple midwives, these cannot be billed again through the statutory health insurance.
Any additional services must therefore be paid privately.
The current private billing rates (as of Brandenburg):
Individual health assessment & service overview: €35.06
Individual consultation on pregnancy and birth: €48.84
Prenatal check-up: €33.86
Postpartum home visits: €42.11
Support for breastfeeding or feeding difficulties: €40.70
Travel costs: €0.89 / km (one way)
Missed course session fee: €8.72 per planned 60 minutes
These rates may be subject to future adjustments.
Appointments must be cancelled at least 24 hours in advance.
If this deadline is not met, the appointment will be considered missed and charged privately at the current hourly rate.
Course registration (e.g., for birth preparation or recovery classes) is binding.
Missed course sessions cannot be made up or refunded, as statutory health insurance only covers sessions that are actually attended.
Each unattended session will therefore be charged privately at €8.72 per 60 minutes.
Free course cancellation is possible up to 14 days before the start of the course. After this period, course fees or cancellation charges will apply proportionally.
Privately invoiced services (e.g., cancellation fees, additional services) must be paid within 14 days of the invoice datewithout deduction.
Payments must be made via bank transfer to the account stated on the invoice.
Midwives are liable within the framework of legal provisions for the proper delivery of the booked services.
No liability is accepted for damages resulting from the client's own negligence or failure to follow advice (e.g., ignoring recommendations, not reporting symptoms or concerns in time).
Each midwife acts independently and is solely liable for the services she personally provides.
Care may be provided as part of a cooperative arrangement between independent freelance midwives working under the name “hebammenpunkt”.
This cooperation does not constitute a legal partnership or joint practice.
You may be in contact with more than one midwife during your care – for example, in the case of a substitution or shared care model.
Billing and liability are handled separately by the respective midwife providing the service.
Should any individual clause of these Terms and Conditions be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.
In place of the invalid provision, a valid one shall apply that most closely reflects the economic intent of the original.
The place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from the contractual relationship is the residence or business location of the respective midwife, insofar as legally permissible.
Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully. By booking an appointment or registering for a course, you confirm your agreement to the above.
Consumers are entitled to a right of withdrawal under the following conditions: A consumer is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that cannot be predominantly attributed to either their commercial or independent professional activity. The midwife/midwifery practice points out the following to the participant: You have the right to cancel this contract within 14 days without giving reasons. The cancellation period is 14 days from the day the contract is concluded. In order to exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform the midwife of your decision to withdraw from this contract by means of a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or by email). In order to meet the cancellation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification of your exercise of the right of cancellation before the cancellation period expires.
Consequences of revocation
The midwife/midwifery practice must repay all payments received from the participant immediately, but at the latest within 14 days from the day on which notification of the revocation was received. If the participant has requested that the service begin during the cancellation period, she must pay the midwifery practice an appropriate amount that corresponds to the proportion of the service used up to that point.
