About Cura
Cura exists because a broken information gap is preventing millions of EU workers from accessing mental healthcare in their own language — even though they have a legal right to it.
The problem
If you're Polish and living in Germany, finding a therapist who speaks your language through the public system means waiting 6–12 months — if you find one at all. Most people either go without care, pay full private rates they can't afford, or navigate a German bureaucratic system in a language they're still learning.
What very few people know: EU law guarantees your right to see a therapist in your home country — including via video — and be reimbursed by your insurance. The process exists. The legal basis is clear. The information just isn't.
What Cura does
Cura is an information platform. We explain your rights, document the reimbursement process step by step, and list licensed therapists who have experience with cross-border EU patients.
We don't book appointments. We don't take a cut of sessions. We don't rate therapists. We give you the information you need, and you take it from there.
The three-way win
For patients
Immediate access to therapy in your language, at significantly lower out-of-pocket cost than German private options.
For therapists
Access to 2M+ diaspora patients across Europe, with clear guidance on cross-border licensing and documentation.
For insurers
Cross-border therapy costs 40–60% less than German Kostenerstattung. Cura creates aligned incentives across the system.
Legal basis
Cross-border healthcare is a guaranteed right under EU Directive 2011/24/EU. German residents can also access private therapy via §13(3) SGB V (Kostenerstattungsverfahren) when the public system fails to provide timely access. Cura explains both pathways in plain language.
We're launching soon
Cura launches first for Polish patients in Germany, followed by Spanish and Romanian. If you're a therapist with cross-border experience, we'd love to hear from you.
