German prosecutors said on Monday that Lubitz had received treatment for "suicidal tendencies" before completing his training.
But Lufthansa said his medical records were subject to doctor-patient confidentiality and it had no knowledge of their contents.
The company has set aside an additional $300m (€280m; £200m) to cover possible costs arising from the crash.
The money is separate from the $54,250 available to the relatives of each passenger to cover short-term expenses.
Airlines are obliged to compensate relatives for proven damages of up to a limit of about $157,000, regardless of what caused the crash. Higher compensation is possible if an airline is held liable.
None of the victims' bodies were found intact after the plane's 700km/h (430mph) impact, but different strands of DNA have been identified.
French President Francois Hollande said on Tuesday that all 150 victims would be identified by the end of the week.
Speaking at a joint news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin, Mr Hollande said "exceptional scientific work" had been carried out by the recovery team.
