Background: A structural reform of the German psychotherapy guideline in 2017 was intended to facilitate access to outpatient guideline psychotherapy. In the present study, we evaluate the effects of this reform in particular for patients with a comorbidity of mental disorders and chronic physical conditions (cMP).

Methods: Pre-post analyses of the two primary endpoints "percentage of mentally ill persons who have made an initial contact with a psychotherapist" and "waiting time for guideline psychotherapy" were carried out employing population-based and weighted routine statutory health insurance data from the German BARMER.
