Most important facts about private health insurance for foreigners in Germany

1.

Best possible medical care

In the event of illness and for preventive examinations, the insurance cover provided by private health insurers offers a better range of services at a lower monthly premium than the public health insurance.

2.

Contractually guaranteed benefits

The benefit level of a private health insurance is contractually agreed and valid and binding for the entire contract period. In the case of public health insurance, the benefit level is often adjusted or restricted without the consent of the insured person.

3.

Individually tailored tariffs

Private health insurance can be "tailored" to one's own health, as well as personal needs and preferences, even before the contract is signed. For example, with treatments by alternative practitioners, etc.

4.

Contribution independent of demographics

Private health insurance builds up financial reserves (aging reserves) for the higher costs in old age and does not burden the next generation. Public health insurance (GKV), on the other hand, does not build capital reserves. GKV contributions depend on politics and are influenced by the increasing proportion of older insured persons.

What is a private health insurance?

Private health insurance is a private offer of a private insurance company. By signing a contract you can choose the best possible medical care.

In Germany, health insurance is compulsory: everyone must have health insurance. For health protection, there are two insurance systems in the German health system:

  1. public health insurance
  2. private health insurance

While premiums in public health insurance are calculated on the basis of income, premiums in private health insurance are calculated on the basis of age, the health status of the insured person or persons, and the desired insurance benefits.

By means of an individual risk assessment prior to the conclusion of the contract, the insurance collective of the private comprehensive health insurance is protected from excessive charges. This means that each cohort pays for the benefits that are required in the course of life. If illnesses present at the time the contract is concluded lead to statically higher expenses compared to a healthy newly insured person, this is compensated for in the form of the risk surcharge. Even though private health insurance is oriented toward the individual, there is still solidarity between the healthy and the sick.

In private health insurance, insured persons provide for rising health care costs later on with their premiums. This means that, unlike in public health insurance, premiums remain independent of demographic change.

How does the reimbursement of bills work in private health insurance?

Unlike in public health insurance, where the doctor bills the health insurance company directly, the doctor bills the privately insured person directly. The person then submits the bill to the private health insurance company and is reimbursed for the cost. Reimbursement can take up to one month with most private comprehensive health insurers.

ottonova, on the other hand, reimburses invoices in a flash, regardless of whether you have comprehensive or supplementary insurance. Simply scan or photograph the invoice, upload it to the app, and the money is in your account within a few days, so that you do not even need to pay in advance.

Is a private health insurance better?

With a private health insurance, you can cover yourself in the best possible way. The benefit modules that you have agreed upon with your insurance company are contractually guaranteed. Nobody can cut your benefits again.

In private health insurance plans, you pay for what you want. Privately insured persons cover themselves with their premiums and can structure these much more flexibly than insured persons in the public health insurance system.



1.

More extensive benefits in the event of illness

The scope of benefits of the private health insurance is considerably larger than in the public health insurance. Access to specialists, cost coverage for alternative practitioners, glasses and contact lenses, treatment by a chief physician and a single room in the hospital are just some of the benefits of private health insurance that those with public insurance must cover with supplementary insurance.

The rates in private health insurance also cover up to 100 percent reimbursement for dental prostheses, professional dental cleaning or orthodontics. For a similar scope of benefits, people with public insurance must first take out supplementary dental insurance to be reimbursed for these costs.

2.

Flexibility in the choice of tariff and premium amount

Choose the insurance coverage that suits your individual needs? That is possible with private health insurance. Here, insured persons have the option of choosing from various tariffs and putting together insurance coverage with the desired scope of benefits that suits their needs.

They can also make the amount of their premium more flexible, for example by choosing a higher deductible and thus lowering their monthly premium. In this way, privately insured persons can contribute to their own healthcare costs and thus save money each month.

3.

Benefit security for a lifetime

Having private health insurance means receiving contractually guaranteed benefits for life that cannot be cut. In public health insurance, on the other hand, more and more benefits have been cut for years and premiums have been rising. This is because the population is getting older and older and therefore has to make use of more and more health services.

Insureds in private health insurance can safely plan for the future with what they agreed with their insurer when they signed the contract. In addition, innovative and new treatments are covered more quickly by private health insurance than by public health insurance.

Are medical innovations in the private health insurance included?

Privately insured patients can reap the benefits of medical innovations much more quickly, because while public health insurance must wait for lengthy approval procedures, private health insurance is generally much more open to new technologies and medications.

The reimbursement hurdles are much lower under private health insurance, and if there is a medical need, the latest drugs and innovative examination and treatment methods are reimbursed.


Want an example?

Bone density measurements in cases of suspected osteoporosis were covered 8.5 years earlier by private health insurance compared to public health insurance.

You don’t want to wear glasses anymore? Private health insurance covers Elective Vision Correction Surgery. Public health insurance doesn’t.


Providing today for tomorrow

With private health insurance, policyholders take responsibility for their future, because they are already providing for later with their current premiums. The monthly premium includes a considerable amount for provisions in old age ("Altersrückstellungen"). In addition, the premium relief component can be used to reduce the premium in retirement age.

As a private patient, you can thus ensure that your contributions remain as stable as possible in retirement and do not rise sharply. This is different from public health insurance, where contributions rise year after year due to the aging population, which has to make use of more and more health services.

Requirements for a German private health insurance

Private health insurance for employees

Whether private health insurance is an option for employees depends on their gross income. This is because they are not exempt from insurance until they earn above the compulsory insurance threshold, also known as the annual income limit (JAEG). If your income is above the limit, you can take out a private health insurance.


The income limit for employees is €69,300 per year or €5,775 per month. However, this limit is adjusted every year to the current wage development and usually increases. Incidentally, in addition to monthly wages, Christmas or vacation bonuses are also included, provided the employer pays them regularly.


For high-earning employees, switching to private health insurance is particularly worthwhile. This is because they not only receive the best possible medical care, but also pay lower insurance premiums for significantly better insurance coverage compared to membership in a public health insurance fund. While employees who earn above the compulsory insurance limit pay the maximum contribution (€1,050) in the public health insurance system, they can really save in private health insurance.

Private health insurance for self-employed

Self-employed persons or freelancers make decisions on their own responsibility every day and must also do so when choosing their health insurance: they are basically free to decide whether public or private health insurance makes sense for them and where they would like to insure themselves.


Anyone who is self-employed at a young age and pays the maximum contribution in the public health insurance scheme, values high-quality benefits for their health and wants to make themselves independent of demographic change, should consider taking out private health insurance. This not only saves self-employed people money, but also provides them with individual coverage in the event of illness and in the future thanks to aging provisions and daily sickness benefits.


In life as an entrepreneur or self-employed person, flexibility is a high value. This should also apply to insurance. In private health insurance, premiums can be made much more flexible and adapted to individual needs (for example, by contributing to one's own health costs through a higher deductible).

Private health insurance for civil servants

94 percent of civil servants choose private health insurance. And for good reason. The employer contributes a share of the health care costs of civil servants through the allowance. For the remainder, private health insurance offers a special tariff with which civil servants can cover their other costs.


In most federal states, civil servants do not receive a contribution subsidy for public health insurance and therefore pay their own contributions. In this case, the more you earn, the higher your contribution will be.


The rates for civil servants in private health insurance, on the other hand, offer all the advantages that employees or self-employed private insurants also enjoy. High-quality treatments for dental health such as dentures, remedies and aids such as bandages, glasses or contact lenses and alternative medical treatments are just a few examples. In public health insurance, on the other hand, additional costs quickly arise (e.g. for medication, etc.).

How much does private health insurance cost in Germany?

The cost of private health insurance depends mainly on 3 factors:

  1. the state of health
  2. your entry age
  3. desired services

This is based on the principle of equivalence - it ensures that insured persons pay for services that correspond to their individual risk and state of health.

In private health insurance, monthly premiums are calculated individually and depend on various factors, so it is difficult to make generalized statements. How high the monthly costs are in private health insurance varies from case to case. We will try to illustrate this with two examples:


Example 1: Costs for private health insurance for employees

Let's assume you are 34 years old, a employee with no children and no pre-existing conditions, and you earn 69,300 euros gross per year. Then the costs for public and private health insurance are as follows:

Public health insurance (employee share incl. compulsory long-term care insurance, insured person has supplementary dental insurance*): 560.23 euros per month

Private health insurance (employee contribution for ottonova's business class tariff): 306.57 euros per month**.


Example 2: Private health insurance costs for self-employed persons

In the case of self-employed persons, the employer's contribution does not apply, so they pay the full contribution themselves. For a 34-year-old self-employed person without children and without pre-existing conditions with a gross annual income of 50,000 euros, the cost comparison looks as follows

Public health insurance (monthly premium incl. compulsory long-term care insurance, insured person has supplementary dental insurance*): 865,27 euros per month with sick pay entitlement.

Private health insurance (monthly premium in ottonova's Business Class tariff): 628.66 euros per month***.

Taking out a private health insurance contract therefore makes particular sense for high earners, because the public health insurance premium increases with income. If you earn above the contribution assessment limit (5,175.00 euros gross per month), you pay the maximum rate in the public health insurance, which is currently around 1,050 euros per month.

If you earn more, the contribution no longer increases, but the contribution assessment limit is not rigid, but is linked to the development of income in Germany. Since wages have been rising for years, the income threshold has also been increasing. High earners therefore pay more for their public health insurance year after year. In private health insurance, on the other hand, nothing changes in your contribution, no matter how big your salary jumps.

*To ensure comparability of benefits, at least for the care of the insured's teeth, we have added the cost of supplemental dental insurance to the public health insurance premium

** BC100-10 + daily sickness allowance KTA43/120 + PVN = 613.16 EUR = 306.57 employee share

*** BC100-10 + daily sickness allowance KTS43 + PVN = 628.66 EUR, without daily sickness allowance KTS 572.36 EUR

BC100-25 + daily sickness allowance KTS43 + PVN = 570.39 EUR, without daily sickness allowance KTS 514.09 EUR

Do the premiums of a private health insurance increase over time?

When it comes to private health insurance premiums, many people think of high financial burdens in retirement.

In fact, cheap tariffs can lead to private health insurance becoming unaffordable in old age. To prevent this from happening, private health insurance has developed many mechanisms to keep its premiums stable for a longer time:

  1. With the beginning of your retirement the 105 statutory surcharge is taken away as well as the pension insurance contribution, which will lower your contribution.
  2. you can also lower the premium you pay in retirement today by adding a premium relief component to your premium.
  3. private health insurance builds up a financial cushion for you with age reserves to keep your premiums stable in old age.
  4. if you want to reduce your costs in private health insurance, you have a lever to do so with the deductible. If you increase it, your monthly premium will be lowered. Attention: A reduction is often only possible with a new health check.
  5. If a risk surcharge was agreed when you took out your contract and your health has improved since then, you can have the surcharge removed.
  6. another option for optimizing your health benefits or premium is to change your tariff - because changes are part of life and should also be reflected in your tariff.

Private health insurance knowledge

Actuarial interest rate

Unlike other private health insurers, ottonova calculates premiums with a low and future-proof interest rate of 1.25 percent. In this way, we can guarantee the most stable coverage possible into old age.

The earlier you decide on private health insurance, the better. Because if you are young and healthy, you can save a lot of money right from the start and usually pay less than for public health insurance. For pre-existing conditions, risk surcharges are added to the individual private health insurance premium, but even then, it is worth comparing with the public health insurance.


Premium refund (no claim bonus)

The premium refund in health insurance is a premium for insured persons who have not claimed any benefits in a year. If privately insured persons do not submit any bills for a year, there are some insurance companies that reward this and pay a refund.

However, these insurances already include the guaranteed premium refund in your monthly premium, which increases it. You can only get back what you have already paid. Wouldn't you rather have that money available right now?

Refunds also affect your annual tax refund and can reduce it.

That's why ottonova does not offer premium refunds or a no claim bonus. We prefer to calculate premiums in such a way that we can avoid premium increases as far as possible.

We also do not want to create a false incentive to postpone a necessary treatment into the next year so that a refund can be made. Often, these postponed treatments are much more cost-intensive afterwards, leading to premium increases for the whole insured community.

Last but not least, we want to make it as easy as possible for you. Do not collect invoices and check whether it is worthwhile to submit them. Instead, submit them immediately and receive reimbursement within a short time and then transfer the bill to the doctor/dentist without having to pay in advance. Done.

Benefits of a private health insurance for foreigners

Much more important than the amount of your insurance premium is what you get for it.

In the public health insurance, your health is covered with basic benefits. However, the scope of benefits can change at any time. In order to save money, the government can cancel or reduce benefits.

In private health insurance, insured persons not only receive first-class benefits - they can even decide for themselves which benefits they place particular value on (e.g. preventive medical check-ups, alternative practitioners, etc.) by choosing their tariff.

Once the private health insurance contract has been concluded, the insured benefits are guaranteed for life.


Better insured with private health insurance

Wondering if private health insurance makes sense? Here are three everyday situations where you'll notice the benefits of private health insurance.


1.

Visual acuity correction

Keep your vision

Jens is nearsighted and has been wearing glasses and sometimes contact lenses for years. How fortunate that he is insured with private health insuran. Because ottonova pays him up to 500 euros every two years for vision aids. Now he has decided to have his visual acuity corrected by laser. After a few days, he was able to see clearly without glasses. Now he starts every day with full vision.

The public health insurance would not have paid anything, but ottonova did.

2.

Private room

First class in hospital

Tanja rides her racing bike to work every day. When she got caught in a streetcar track and fell off her bike, she broke her collarbone and needed surgery. Her ottonova tariff covers both treatment by a chief physician and a private room in hospital. And so she was able to recover completely undisturbed.

Eva, who is in the same hospital, is insured with publich health insurance and unfortunately has no supplementary hospital insurance. She regularly wakes up every night in the multi-bed room because Bettina, her fellow patient, snores loudly.

3.

Dentures & orthodontics

For your best smile

Thomas had a large gap between his incisors for a long time, which is why he often didn't dare to smile broadly and show his teeth in public. Unlike public health insurance, his ottonova tariff made orthodontic treatment possible for him, even as an adult.

His wife Marina is also insured with ottonova and needs dentures. She is missing a tooth in the lower right-hand corner, which needs to be replaced. That, too, is covered up to 100 percent in her tariff.

Because it's important to us that you feel well advised.
