Since December 27, 2024, Upfit's digital nutrition coaching has been officially certified by the Zentrale Prüfstelle Prävention (ZPP) in accordance with §20 SGB V. This means that Upfit meets all the requirements to be recognized as a reimbursable preventive measure by all statutory health insurance companies in Germany - with a potential cost coverage of up to 100%.
What does ZPP certification mean for users?
ZPP certification is a recognized seal of quality in the field of preventive healthcare. It certifies that a program demonstrably meets high qualitative, scientific and methodological standards. For participants, this means
Easy access: After completing the program, users receive an official certificate of participation.
Uncomplicated reimbursement: This certificate can be submitted together with the invoice to the respective health insurance company - the reimbursement process is fast, transparent and digital.
No long waiting times: In contrast to many analog offers, online coaching can be started directly - flexible in terms of time and independent of location.
A milestone for digital health promotion
"The ZPP certification is a milestone for us - and a real game changer for our users," says Tim Kahle, founder of Upfit. "The fact that our digital nutrition coaching can now be billed via health insurance companies significantly lowers the barrier to access. This makes it possible for even more people to achieve their health goals in a scientifically sound, flexible and sustainable way - without long waiting times or on-site appointments."
