This article investigates the rationale for or against applying for funding and evaluates the funding option from the perspective of staff members at both funded and non-funded CCCs, as well as sponsoring organizations. The aim is to analyse the practical feasibility of the financing model.We conducted a qualitative study using guided expert interviews with employees of CCCs and sponsoring organizations. The institutions for interview participation were selected from all existing CCCs and sponsoring organizations, taking into account factors such as size, region, and funding status of the CCC through a quota-based random selection process. The interviews were analyzed using content-structural evaluation methods according to Kuckartz.The analysis is based on statements from 44 expert interviews, including 17 funded CCCs, 9 non-funded CCCs, 6 CCCs with changing status, and 12 sponsoring organizations. The funding option was generally rated positively and recognized as a significant advancement for outpatient cancer counselling. With regard to the required minimum number of consultations, it should be noted that the majority of CCCs considered this to be achievable. However, certain structural aspects were criticized, particularly regarding the allocation process, funding stability, and the requirements of financial auditing. Issues such as the remaining uncertainty of stable financing, and the insufficient recognition of essential work areas, such as group services, were highlighted, as well as the inadequate consideration of differences in service mandates, especially for CCCs in rural areas.The partial funding of outpatient CCCs by health insurance funds is an important step towards stable financing and standardization in outpatient cancer counselling. Future amendments should aim to ensure long-term security and flexibility of funding options in order to maintain comprehensive, needs-based and quality-assured cancer counselling in Germany with a growing proportion of cancer survivors, a significant proportion of whom have psychosocial problems and need counselling. 000304487 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-319H$$a319H - Addenda (POF4-319H)$$cPOF4-319H$$fPOF IV$$x0 000304487 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, PubMed, , Journals: inrepo02.dkfz.de 000304487 7001_ $$00009-0006-8432-5217$$aKöditz, Anne-Kathrin$$b1 000304487 7001_ $$00000-0002-7980-484X$$aHeyne, Svenja$$b2 000304487 7001_ $$aGmeiner, Charlotte$$b3 000304487 7001_ $$aMahlberg, Maria$$b4 000304487 7001_ $$0P:(DE-He78)76dcc66f81ef265e1968a39c42318846$$aWeg-Remers, Susanne$$b5$$udkfz 000304487 7001_ $$00000-0002-6872-9805$$aMehnert-Theuerkauf, Anja$$b6 000304487 7001_ $$00000-0002-2374-3232$$aErnst, Jochen$$b7 000304487 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2056547-1$$a10.1055/a-2654-5683$$gp. a-2654-5683$$pnn$$tPsychotherapie, Psychosomatik, medizinische Psychologie$$vnn$$x0937-2032$$y2025 000304487 909CO $$ooai:inrepo02.dkfz.de:304487$$pVDB 000304487 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2036810-0$$6P:(DE-He78)76dcc66f81ef265e1968a39c42318846$$aDeutsches Krebsforschungszentrum$$b5$$kDKFZ 000304487 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-319H$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF4-310$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF4-300$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF4$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bGesundheit$$lKrebsforschung$$vAddenda$$x0 000304487 9141_ $$y2025 000304487 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR$$bPSYCHOTHER PSYCH MED : 2022$$d2024-12-12 000304487 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS$$d2024-12-12 000304487 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline$$d2024-12-12 000304487 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bClarivate Analytics Master Journal List$$d2024-12-12 000304487 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0160$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bEssential Science Indicators$$d2024-12-12 000304487 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1180$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Social and Behavioral Sciences$$d2024-12-12 000304487 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0130$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSocial Sciences Citation Index$$d2024-12-12 000304487 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)9900$$2StatID$$aIF < 5$$d2024-12-12 000304487 9201_ $$0I:(DE-He78)M100-20160331$$kM100$$lM100 Krebsinformationsdienst KID$$x0 000304487 980__ $$ajournal 000304487 980__ $$aVDB 000304487 980__ $$aI:(DE-He78)M100-20160331 000304487 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED
